This task can be used for installing a specific version of helm binary on agents.

YAML snippet

# Helm tool installer
# Install Helm on an agent machine
- task: HelmInstaller@1
  inputs:
    #helmVersionToInstall: 'latest' # Optional

Task inputs

Parameters	Description
`helmVersionToInstall` Helm Version Spec	(Optional) The version of Helm to be installed on the agent. Acceptable values are `latest` or any semantic version string like `2.14.1` Default value: `latest`

The following YAML example showcases the installation of latest version of helm binary on the agent -

- task: HelmInstaller@1
  displayName: Helm installer
  inputs: 
    helmVersionToInstall: latest

The following YAML example demonstrates the use of an explicit version string rather than installing the latest version available at the time of task execution -

- task: HelmInstaller@1
  displayName: Helm installer
  inputs: 
    helmVersionToInstall: 2.14.1

Troubleshooting

HelmInstaller task running on a private agent behind a proxy fails to download helm package.

The HelmInstaller task does not use the proxy settings to download the file https://get.helm.sh/helm-v3.1.0-linux-amd64.zip. You can work around this by pre-installing Helm on your private agents.
