Helm: could not find tiller

Question

I'm getting this error message:

➜  ~ helm version
Error: could not find tiller

I've created tiller project:

➜  ~ oc new-project tiller
Now using project "tiller" on server "https://192.168.99.100:8443".

Then, I've created tiller into tiller namespace:

➜  ~ helm init --tiller-namespace tiller
$HELM_HOME has been configured at /home/jcabre/.helm.

Tiller (the Helm server-side component) has been installed into your Kubernetes Cluster.

Please note: by default, Tiller is deployed with an insecure 'allow unauthenticated users' policy.
To prevent this, run `helm init` with the --tiller-tls-verify flag.
For more information on securing your installation see: https://docs.helm.sh/using_helm/#securing-your-helm-installation
Happy Helming!

So, after that, I've been waiting for tiller pod is ready.

➜  ~ oc get pod -w
NAME                             READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
tiller-deploy-66cccbf9cd-84swm   0/1       Running   0          18s
NAME                             READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
tiller-deploy-66cccbf9cd-84swm   1/1       Running   0          24s
^C%               

Any ideas?

Try deleting your cluster tiller

kubectl get all --all-namespaces | grep tiller
kubectl delete deployment tiller-deploy -n kube-system
kubectl delete service tiller-deploy -n kube-system
kubectl get all --all-namespaces | grep tiller

Initialise it again:

helm init

Now add the service account:

kubectl create serviceaccount --namespace kube-system tiller
kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller-cluster-rule --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller
kubectl patch deploy --namespace kube-system tiller-deploy -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"serviceAccount":"tiller"}}}}'

This solved my issue!
