+# Installing GitLab in Kubernetes
+
+The easiest method to deploy GitLab in [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) is
+to take advantage of the official GitLab Helm charts. [Helm] is a package
+management tool for Kubernetes, allowing apps to be easily managed via their
+Charts. A [Chart] is a detailed description of the application including how it
+should be deployed, upgraded, and configured.
+
+The GitLab Helm repository is located at https://charts.gitlab.io.
+You can report any issues related to GitLab's Helm Charts at
+https://gitlab.com/charts/charts.gitlab.io/issues.
+Contributions and improvements are also very welcome.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To use the charts, the Helm tool must be installed and initialized. The best
+place to start is by reviewing the [Helm Quick Start Guide][helm-quick].
+
+## Add the GitLab Helm repository
+
+Once Helm has been installed, the GitLab chart repository must be added:
+
+```bash
+helm repo add gitlab https://charts.gitlab.io
+```
+
+After adding the repository, Helm must be re-initialized:
+
+```bash
+helm init
+```
+
+## Using the GitLab Helm Charts
+
+GitLab makes available two Helm Charts, one for the GitLab server and another
+for the Runner. More detailed information on installing and configuring each
+Chart can be found below:
