Error: Unable to update checked out version

[dkirrane]

Hi,

I'm hitting the following on

helm version
Client: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.7.2", GitCommit:"8478fb4fc723885b155c924d1c8c410b7a9444e6", GitTreeState:"clean"}
Server: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.7.2", GitCommit:"8478fb4fc723885b155c924d1c8c410b7a9444e6", GitTreeState:"clean"}

helm plugin install https://github.com/technosophos/helm-template
Error: Unable to update checked out version

Also getting this error.

@dkirrane @anweiss it seems you need to specify a version to install.:

helm plugin install https://github.com/technosophos/helm-template --version 2.5.1

or

helm plugin install https://github.com/technosophos/helm-template --version master

Seems to be a helm bug, check helm/helm#3571. The fix is not released yet so setting --version is only thing can do for now.
And template command is supported by helm itself now, you can try the native one :)
