$ helm init

$ helm init --tiller-namespace=kube-system
$HELM_HOME has been configured at /home/mcrenshaw/.helm.

Tiller (the Helm server-side component) has been installed into your Kubernetes Cluster.

Please note: by default, Tiller is deployed with an insecure 'allow unauthenticated users' policy.
To prevent this, run `helm init` with the --tiller-tls-verify flag.
For more information on securing your installation see: https://docs.helm.sh/using_helm/#securing-your-helm-installation
$ helm upgrade --install some-thing .
Error: could not find tiller
$ helm upgrade --install some-thing . --tiller-namespace=kube-system
Release "some-thing" does not exist. Installing it now.

有两种方法可以设置Tiller默认命名空间：

1. 使用--tiller-namespace标志（您已经在使用）。
2. 通过设置$TILLER_NAMESPACE环境变量。

标志配置优先于环境配置。您可能已经设置了这个环境变量（您可以使用printenv tiller_namespace进行检查）。如果是，则unset它和进一步的helm命令应该正确地指向kube-system命名空间。
