Training prerequisites

Before the training, install kubectl and Helm on your own computer. Finally, make sure the commands work on the command line.

macOS

1. Install Homebrew if it is not already installed.

2. Open Terminal and install kubectl and Helm:

   bash Copy

   brew install kubectl helm

Windows

1. Install Windows Package Manager (winget) if it is not available.

2. Open PowerShell and install kubectl and Helm:

   powershell Copy

   winget install Kubernetes.kubectl
   winget install Helm.Helm

Linux

1. Install kubectl and Helm using your distribution’s package manager or their official instructions:
   • kubectl installation guide
   • Helm installation guide

Verify the installation

Run the following commands on the command line:

kubectl version --client
helm version

Output should look similar to this:
