Helm requires “tiller” to be installed in your cluster, set this up with

helm init

You may need to upgrade

if your local helm is newer than the installed tiller you’ll get an error Error: client version is incompatible so you’ll need to upgrade helm init —upgrade

init is installing a pod so it may take a minute

find a package helm search jenkins

Install a package helm install --name jenkins stable/jenkins

verify your service is running. look for the external ip kubectl get services

Clean up
