On a Kubernetes cluster, Rancher is installed with Helm, and Helm commands are used to pass in configuration options. [Helm]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.x/en/overview/architecture/concepts/#about-helm) is a Kubernetes package manager.
The simplest way to install Rancher is on a single node with direct access to the Internet. Other options require more steps:
- For a high-availability installation, you need to first set up a Kubernetes cluster using the Rancher Kubernetes Engine, then install Rancher on the cluster.
- If the installation environment is behind an HTTP proxy or in an air gap environment, additional steps are required to work around the lack of direct access to DockerHub and GitHub.
