Helm
Helm is the most commonly used package manager for Kubernetes. Helm helps you easily define, install, and update the software that you run on a Kubernetes cluster. In this procedure, you use Helm to install and configure HiveMQ on your K8s cluster. To install Helm on macOS with Homebrew, enter:
brew install helm
For other operating systems, see Helm installation.
