### Helm

We will use **Helm** to install the ALB Ingress Controller.

Check to see if `helm` is installed:

```bash
helm version
```

{{% notice info %}}
If `Helm` is not found, see [installing helm](/beginner/060_helm/helm_intro/install/index.html) for instructions.
{{% /notice %}}

Add helm incubator repository

```bash
helm repo add incubator http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-charts-incubator
```

```bash
# Get the VPC ID
export VPC_ID=$(aws eks describe-cluster --name eksworkshop-eksctl --query "cluster.resourcesVpcConfig.vpcId" --output text)


helm --namespace 2048-game install 2048-game \
  incubator/aws-alb-ingress-controller \
  --set image.tag=${ALB_INGRESS_VERSION} \
  --set awsRegion=${AWS_REGION} \
  --set awsVpcID=${VPC_ID} \
  --set rbac.create=false \
  --set rbac.serviceAccount.name=alb-ingress-controller \
  --set clusterName=eksworkshop-eksctl
```

Execute the following command to watch the progress by looking at the deployment status:

```bash
kubectl -n 2048-game rollout status \
  deployment 2048-game-aws-alb-ingress-controller
```

Output:
