Running Fission locally

Now that we have the prerequisites installed we can look at creating our first function. To do this we are going to use Minikube. To launch the single node cluster we simply need to run the following:

$ minikube start
$ kubectl get nodes

This should launch your Minikube cluster and also confirm that your local version has been reconfigured to communicate with it:

Once we have our cluster running and accessible we need to complete the Helm installation by installing Tiller. To do this we need to run the following:

$ helm init

You should see something like the following message: 

Launching Fission using Helm

Helm is now configured and we can use it to deploy the remote components of Fission. This can be done by running the following:

$ helm install --namespace fission --set serviceType=NodePort https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/0.4.0/fission-all-0.4.0.tgz

After a minute or two, you should receive confirmation that Fission has launched.
