# Kubernetes Helm
[![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/kubernetes/helm.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/kubernetes/helm)
Helm is a tool for managing Kubernetes charts. Charts are packages of
pre-configured Kubernetes resources.
Use Helm to...
- Find and use popular software packaged as Kubernetes charts
- Share your own applications as Kubernetes charts
- Create reproducible builds of your Kubernetes applications
- Intelligently manage your Kubernetes manifest files
- Manage releases of Helm packages
## Helm in a Handbasket
Helm is a tool that streamlines installing and managing Kubernetes applications.
Think of it like apt/yum/homebrew for Kubernetes.
- Helm has two parts: a client (`helm`) and a server (`tiller`)
- Tiller runs inside of your Kubernetes cluster, and manages releases (installations)
of your charts.
- Helm runs on your laptop, CI/CD, or wherever you want it to run.
- Charts are Helm packages that contain at least two things:
- A description of the package (`Chart.yaml`)
- One or more templates, which contain Kubernetes manifest files
- Charts can be stored on disk, or fetched from remote chart repositories
(like Debian or RedHat packages)
## Install
Binary downloads of the Alpha.5 Helm client can be found at the following links:
- [OSX](http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-helm/helm-v2.0.0-alpha.5-darwin-amd64.tar.gz)
- [Linux](http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-helm/helm-v2.0.0-alpha.5-linux-amd64.tar.gz)
- [Linux 32-bit](http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-helm/helm-v2.0.0-alpha.5-linux-386.tar.gz)
Unpack the `helm` binary and add it to your PATH and you are good to go! OS X/[Cask](https://caskroom.github.io/) users can `brew cask install helm`.
To rapidly get Helm up and running, start with the [Quick Start Guide](docs/quickstart.md).
See the [installation guide](docs/install.md) for more options,
including installing pre-releases.
