helm: Error: file "helm install stable/nginx-ingress" not found (and mysql doesn't work either)

So, I’m following the Quick Start Guide: https://github.com/kubernetes/helm

Neither stable/nginx-ingress nor stable/mysql work.

$ helm repo update

Hang tight while we grab the latest from your chart repositories...

$ helm install stable/mysql

@ritazh in case you still need help, @colemickens used rm -rf ~/.helm && helm init --client-only to remove the deis repository. Alternatively you can also use helm repo remove deis.

Hm, looks like deleting ~/.helm and starting over helped. (And removed the deis source , which is fine and makes sense)…

Closing for now, I guess y’all know if it’s expected that users would need to take this remediation action.

I still have same issue, plz help @bacongobbler screen shot 2018-03-28 at 11 27 21 pm

No action,

Helm Search works but Helm Install somepackage doesn’t work.

That worked.

I have the same error.
