Lab 10 - Installing Helm

It appears the steps to install and setup Helm are slightly out of date. Also the steps may not work completely if running locally using a PowerShell on Windows (I've provided some steps below using Chocolatey to install Helm).
The primary issue is that Tiller has been removed in Helm 3. Here is the link explaining the change: https://helm.sh/docs/faq/#removal-of-tiller. The lab should be updated to reflect this or perhaps instructions updated to reflect Helm 3 installation.
Steps to install Helm v2.14.2 and Tiller.
Run PowerShell as Administrator.
Run command to install Chocolatey.
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
- Type choco to verify installation.
choco
- Use Chocolatey to install helm
choco install kubernetes-helm --version=2.14.2 --force -y
- Verify installation successful
helm version
- Apply tiller RBAC
kubectl apply -f tiller-rbac.yaml
- Initialize tiller
helm init --service-account tiller
- Validate Tiller
kubectl get pods -n kube-system

You are absolutely right. Helm3 brings new changes including Tiller being deprecated. Also the way you setup and use repos is slightly different. Thank you for providing instructions that works for you. I would be modifying the instructions to setup and use helm.
Instructions to install helm on Linux/OSX
To install helm version 3, you can follow following instructions.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get-helm-3 | bash
Verify the installtion is successful,
helm --help helm version
Setup Repository
helm repo add stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com/ helm repo list
Example of installing wordpress with helm3
helm search repo wordpress helm install blog stable/wordpress kubectl get all -l "release=blog"

Thanks so much @gouravshah for the explanation - much appreciated! Btw your lectures are really well done and very informative.
I wanted to ask you a question about csrf and configuring Spinnaker with Jenkins for the latest version of Jenkins. Since csrf protection is only available in Jenkins 2.x, I couldn't simply disable csrf as per the labs. I attempted to share a crumb between Hal and Jenkins, via Hal's Jenkins config, but kept running into issues when re-deploying Spinnaker. Using an older version of Jenkins would have fixed the problem of course (as per the labs).
Is there a recommended approach to configure latest Jenkins version with Spinnaker wrt csrf?
Thanks for your help.

@visdan. To be completely honest, I have not tested new version of Jenkins with Spinnaker. I would not recommend using older version of Jenkins. The right way forward would be to figure out how to make new Jenkins works with spinnaker. I am going to start reviewing the course for changes starting second week of September. I would look into this issue while I do so. Thank you for your patience.

@MaratGainutdinov yes. I have started updating the course which involves fixing the broken setup etc. in addition to updating the version of helm. You should see the updates pushed to the course by mid Jan.
