# Helm [](https://circleci.com/gh/helm/helm) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/helm/helm) [](https://pkg.go.dev/helm.sh/helm/v3) [](https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/3131) Helm is a tool for managing Charts. Charts are packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources. Use Helm to: - Find and use [popular software packaged as Helm Charts](https://artifacthub.io/packages/search?kind=0) to run in Kubernetes - Share your own applications as Helm 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 renders your templates and communicates with the Kubernetes API - 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 Helm client can be found on [the Releases page](https://github.com/helm/helm/releases/latest). Unpack the `helm` binary and add it to your PATH and you are good to go! If you want to use a package manager: - [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) users can use `brew install helm`. - [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/) users can use `choco install kubernetes-helm`. - [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/) users can use `scoop install helm`. - [GoFish](https://gofi.sh/) users can use `gofish install helm`. - [Snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/) users can use `snap install helm --classic` To rapidly get Helm up and running, start with the [Quick Start Guide](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/quickstart/).
