# Installing the DCE Helm chart
SonarQube Data Center Edition (DCE) can be installed from a customized SonarQube Server Helm chart. This page is for SonarQube Server 2025.4.
Once you have customized the Helm chart, you can install ityou can install it via the command line from the Helm repository.
{% hint style="info" %}
You can also overwrite Helm chart parameters directly in the installation command.
{% endhint %}
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-dce).
```sh
helm repo add sonarqube https://SonarSource.github.io/helm-chart-sonarqube
helm repo update
kubectl create namespace sonarqube-dce
helm upgrade --install -n sonarqube-dce sonarqube-dce sonarqube/sonarqube-dce
```
To define parameters in the command line, use `--set`. For example, if you haven’t defined the JWT secret when customizing the Helm chart, you may use the following installation command that includes creating a secret and configuring the Helm chart token parameter with this secret.
```sh
helm repo add sonarqube https://SonarSource.github.io/helm-chart-sonarqube
helm repo update
kubectl create namespace sonarqube-dce
export JWT_SECRET=$(echo -n "your_secret" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "your_key" -binary | base64)
helm upgrade --install -n sonarqube-dce sonarqube-dce --set applicationNodes.jwtSecret=$JWT_SECRET sonarqube/sonarqube-dce
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.4/server-installation/data-center-edition/on-kubernetes-or-openshift/installing-from-helm-repo.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
