Installing and managing releases

Use helm search repo to locate charts in locally added repositories without network access, leveraging fuzzy string matching for partial phrase queries. Add repositories with helm repo add [NAME] [URL]; helm search hub --list-repo-url exposes the actual Helm repo URL, which standard helm search hub output does not. Install packages using helm install [RELEASE_NAME] [CHART_NAME], which creates a new release object while the client prints which resources were created, the release state, and any additional configuration steps. Helm installs resources in a defined order, starting with Namespace, NetworkPolicy, ResourceQuota, LimitRange, PodSecurityPolicy, PodDisruptionBudget, ServiceAccount, Secret, SecretList, ConfigMap, StorageClass, and PersistentVolume.
