CLI Environment setup¶

Most of the labs are run using CLI commands.

The IBM Cloud Shell is preconfigured with the full IBM Cloud CLI and tons of plug-ins and tools that you can use to manage apps, resources, and infrastructure.

1. Open IBM Cloud Shell¶

Click on the IBM Cloud Shell icon at the top right section of the cloud account page.

Cluster List

This opens the cloud shell in a new browser tab.

2. Setup Helm¶

The Cloud Shell comes with both Helm 2 and Helm 3 versions. To make sure we use the Helm Version 3 variant, we will create an alias.

Run the following commands to install Helm Version 3:

alias helm=helm3

Check the helm version by running the following command:

helm version --short

The result is that you should have Helm Version 3 installed.

$ helm version --short
