• Download helm installation script

# curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get' -o /opt/helm/get-helm.sh

• Replace /usr/local/bin with /opt/helm in the installation script

# vim /opt/helm/get-heml.sh

Tiller (the Helm server-side component) has been installed into your Kubernetes Cluster.

Please note: by default, Tiller is deployed with an insecure 'allow unauthenticated users' policy.
To prevent this, run `helm init` with the --tiller-tls-verify flag.
For more information on securing your installation see: https://docs.helm.sh/using_helm/#securing-your-helm-installation
Happy Helming!
