Try to run helm from the untar directory.

linux-amd64/helm search hub database

Otherwise again download the .tar file, untar it then copy linux-amd64/helm to /usr/local/bin/, then run helm.

Hello,
Thank you for reply.
I tried to search, but got error.
I tried to using different version of helm(3.6.3, 3.7.2), but fail too.
However "https://charts.helm.sh/stable" directory is working.
Please advise me.
Thank you.

It was a network problem of my environment.
Thanks to everyone who interest in this issue.

Hi @cgxrenio,

Would you be able to describe the behavior of the helm client?
