Landing page doesn't instruct user to install Helm

Open saidmasoud opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

After trying to run vcluster for the first time on a fresh cluster by following the instructions on the landing page (https://www.vcluster.com), the CLI exits and instructs the user to install Helm. It would be ideal to add a note to your landing page recommending users to install Helm before finding out the "hard" way. It's also a nice and subtle way to notify your users that Helm is required, should that make a difference to them in determining whether to adopt vcluster or not.

$ vcluster create vcluster-test -n vcluster-test
[fatal]  seems like helm is not installed. Helm is required for the creation of a virtual cluster. Please visit https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/ for install instructions

@saidmasoud thanks for creating this issue! We try to keep the quickstart on the landing page very short and assume helm is already installed as well as a Kubernetes cluster is installed and reachable. We could add this note to the docs though as these should cover everything in more detail

vcluster CLI can now download helm binary automatically if it doesn't find it - #730
