How to install Helm Umbrella Charts pulled from remote repository

Question

I have an umbrella chart uploaded in a remote repository and am trying to install it. How do I get it pulled down and ready to install?

I've tried helm fetch repo/umbrellachartname --untar which untared it but with nothing in any of the folders.

This seems incorrect and I simply want to install it and all its dependencies.

Answer 1

To install a helm chart, use helm install <repo name>/<chart name>, i.e.

helm install repo/umbrellachartname 

in your case.

You can also first fetch it and then run helm install . in the untarred directory.

If the directories are empty as you describe, I would think the uploaded chart is broken.
