1. Clone the repository to your machine,

$ git clone [email protected]:apache/skywalking-kubernetes.git

2. Go to Chart directory,

$ cd skywalking-kubernetes/chart

3. Now perform the following commands (from chart dir),

$ helm repo add elastic https://helm.elastic.co

$ helm dep up skywalking

$ helm install <release_name> skywalking -n <namespace>
