+
+For setting up Kubernetes on other cloud platforms or bare-metal servers refer to the Kubernetes [getting started guide](http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/).
+
+### Install Helm
+
+Get the latest [Helm release](https://github.com/helm/helm#install).
+
+### Add Helm chart repo
+
+Once you have Helm installed, add the repo as follows:
+
+```console
+helm repo add haproxytech https://haproxytech.github.io/helm-charts
+helm repo update
+```
+
+HAProxy Helm charts can be also found on [ArtifactHub](https://artifacthub.io/packages/search?repo=haproxytech).
