# Installing Helm chart

Once you have [Customizing Helm chart](/sonarqube-server/10.8/setup-and-upgrade/deploy-on-kubernetes/server/customizing-helm-chart.md), you can install it. You can also overwrite Helm chart parameters directly in the installation command (see Openshift example below).

## General installation command <a href="#general-command" id="general-command"></a>

Use the following command to install the latest SonarQube Server Helm chart( If you want to deploy the SonarQube Server LTA version, you should install the LTA Helm chart, see the [Helm chart documentation](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/sonarqube/sonarqube)):

```css-79elbk
helm repo add sonarqube https://SonarSource.github.io/helm-chart-sonarqube
helm repo update
kubectl create namespace sonarqube # If you dont have permissions to create the namespace, skip this step and replace all -n with an existing namespace name.
helm upgrade --install -n sonarqube sonarqube sonarqube/sonarqube
```

## Example: installing on Openshift <a href="#openshift-test" id="openshift-test"></a>

The command below:

* Enables OpenShift.
* Deploys a PostgreSQL database for test purposes.

without updating the provided default Helm chart.

```css-79elbk
helm repo add sonarqube https://SonarSource.github.io/helm-chart-sonarqube
helm repo update
kubectl create namespace sonarqube 
helm upgrade --install -n sonarqube sonarqube sonarqube/sonarqube \
  --set OpenShift.enabled=true \
  --set postgresql.securityContext.enabled=false \
  --set OpenShift.createSCC=false \
  --set postgresql.containerSecurityContext.enabled=false
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/10.8/setup-and-upgrade/deploy-on-kubernetes/server/installing-helm-chart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
