helm doesn't publish an install command for Windows anywhere we can verify, so there's nothing for us to show you. We won't invent one. It does document one for macOS and Linux — switch to that tab.
Installs helm on Windows through Chocolatey, which resolves any dependencies for you in the same step. Runs as your normal user account, and needs no administrator rights.
Not available for macOS yet.

Installs helm on macOS or Linux in its own sandbox, so it won't interfere with the rest of your system. Runs as your normal user account, and needs no administrator rights.
How to set up helm, step by step
On Windows, open PowerShell (press Win, type PowerShell, hit Enter) and paste the command. On macOS or Linux, open Terminal — on a Mac it's in Applications ▸ Utilities, or press Cmd+Space and type Terminal — and paste the command there.
Run helm --help to see the available commands, and
helm --version to confirm the install worked. If your shell complains about
permissions, that project usually documents a corrected command on its own site.
This asks Chocolatey to download helm and place it where your shell can find it.

On mobile
helm is a command-line tool, so there is no phone app for it — a phone has no shell to run it in. You'll need a desktop, or a remote shell into a machine that has one.
helm is developed by its own authors. This page is an independent reference; we are not affiliated with or sponsored by the project. The command shown here was reproduced from the project's public documentation — always check the project's own documentation before running anything.
