This guide provides detailed instructions for installing the Enkrypt AI platform using Helm charts. Before proceeding, ensure you have met all infrastructure requirements and configuration prerequisites.

​
1. Add the Enkrypt AI Helm Repository

First, add the official Enkrypt AI Helm chart repository to your Helm configuration and update your local chart cache. 
helm repo add enkryptai https://enkryptai.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update

​
Expected Output:

Successfully added "enkryptai" to your repositories
Helm Release "enkryptai" has been updated. Happy Helming!

​
2. Install the Platform Chart

The platform chart deploys core dependencies and shared infrastructure components necessary for the Enkrypt AI stack. 
helm upgrade --install platform enkryptai/platform-stack \
  -n enkryptai-stack \
  -f ./values/platform.yaml \
  --timeout 15m
  • --install: Installs the chart if it doesn’t exist, or upgrades it if it does.
  • platform: The name of the release.
  • enkryptai/platform-stack: The chart to install from the enkryptai repository.
  • -n enkryptai-stack: Specifies the target Kubernetes namespace.
  • -f ./values/platform.yaml: Specifies the path to your custom values.yaml file for the platform chart.
  • --timeout 15m: Sets the maximum time for the Helm operation to complete.

​
Expected Output (example - actual output may vary):

Release "platform" does not exist. Installing it now.
NAME: platform
LAST DEPLOYED: Thu Oct 23 12:32:38 2025
NAMESPACE: enkryptai-stack
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1

​
3. Install the Enkrypt AI Stack Chart

This step deploys the main Enkrypt AI application stack. Before installing the chart, a temporary ConfigMap for the API gateway needs to be applied.

​
Step 3.1: Apply Gateway ConfigMap

This step is required only for enkryptai-stack versions ≤ v1.1.20. Apply the necessary ConfigMap for the API gateway (Kong). 
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/enkryptai/helm-charts/main/charts/enkryptai-stack/gateway-temp-config-map.yaml

​
Step 3.2: Install the Enkrypt AI Stack

Install the primary Enkrypt AI application chart. 
helm upgrade --install enkryptai enkryptai/enkryptai-stack \
  -n enkryptai-stack \
  -f ./values/enkryptai-stack.yaml \
  --timeout 15m
  • --install: Installs the chart if it doesn’t exist, or upgrades it if it does.
  • enkryptai: The name of the release.
  • enkryptai/enkryptai-stack: The chart to install from the enkryptai repository.
  • -n enkryptai-stack: Specifies the target Kubernetes namespace.
  • -f ./values/enkryptai-stack.yaml: Specifies the path to your custom values.yaml file for the Enkrypt AI stack chart.
  • --timeout 15m: Sets the maximum time for the Helm operation to complete.

​
Expected Output (example - actual output may vary):

Release "enkryptai" does not exist. Installing it now.
NAME: enkryptai
LAST DEPLOYED: Thu Oct 23 12:43:06 2025
NAMESPACE: enkryptai-stack
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
Additionally, ensure that all required SSL Certificates for Your Domains are properly configured as outlined in the configuration prerequisites.
