helm-binary

Install helm via yarn/npm. This is a wrapper around the projects here:
helm-binary-darwin
helm-binary-linux

Global install

Taking the latest helm 3 binary at the time of writing (3.6.2) as an example:

``bash
yarn global add helm-binary@latest
`

npm _should_ also work but I have seen places it can fail more ofter (like when
running as the root user on a linux box).

`bash
npm install --global helm-binary@latest
`

Installation dependencies

Whatever linux/mac machine you run this on, make sure it has bash available
as the postinstall script depends on that (#!/bin/sh isn't enough)

Package specific install

Add this package as a dependency and you can run helm from within your node
runtime when using the scripts block of the package.json file.

Alternatively, appending the node_modules/.bin location when calling this
from within your source code (through say, the exec package), e.g.

`javascript
const helm = Path.resolve(__dirname, '../../node_modules/.bin/helm');
`

You are able to directly call helm within your source code without needing it
to be installed on the running system.

Requirements

You've setup your $PATH correctly to have node binaries executable.
e.g. My Ubuntu machine has: /home/edify42/.nvm/versions/node/v10.16.0/bin
in my $PATH

How it works

It installs the optionalDependency based on your platform (darwin/linux) and
then the postInstall script simply creates a hard link to the binary.

Automation

Github Actions support scheduled builds. Lets run one periodically to check
the github releases API and package new versions of helm automagically for
future use.

Publish notes for author/maintainer

ALWAYS run the yarn clean before yarn publish.

Hack innit

Is this a hack? Yes. I need to have helm` available and this is a nice way of
achieving it for some of the Javascript/Node tooling I currently work with.
