We will use the helm utility to provision the Deis platform to a kubernetes cluster. If you don't
have helm installed, see installing helm for more info.
First check that you have helm installed and the version is correct.
$ helm --version
0.2.0
Ensure your kubectl client is installed and ensure it can connect to your kubernetes cluster. This
is where helm will attempt to communicate with the cluster. You can test that it is working
properly by running
$ helm target
Kubernetes master is running at https://10.245.1.2
Heapster is running at https://10.245.1.2/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/heapster
KubeDNS is running at https://10.245.1.2/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns
KubeUI is running at https://10.245.1.2/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-ui
Grafana is running at https://10.245.1.2/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/monitoring-grafana
InfluxDB is running at https://10.245.1.2/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/monitoring-influxdb
If you see a list of targets like the one above, helm can communicate with the kubernetes master.
Once finished, run this command to provision the Deis platform:
$ helm repo add deis https://github.com/deis/charts
$ helm install deis/deis
You can then monitor their status by running
$ kubectl get pods --namespace=deis
Once you see all of the pods ready, your Deis platform is running on a cluster!
Now that you've finished provisioning a cluster, start Using Deis to deploy your first application on Deis.
