+# Fleet Helm Chart Dependencies
+
+In order for the Helm chart dependencies in Fleet to deploy successfully, you must run a manual command (as listed below) to let Fleet know where to retrieve them. If you do not do this and proceed to clone your repository and run `helm install`, your installation will fail because the dependencies will be missing.
+
+The Helm chart in the git repository must include its dependencies in the charts subdirectory. You must either manually run `helm dependencies update` OR run `helm dependencies build` locally, then commit the complete charts directory to your git repository.
