Choose the latest version from the Chart Versions list and then click the Install button in the upper-right corner to start the Helm chart form:
Choose the kube-system namespace from the drop-down list and click Next:
Populate the various sections of the Edit Options of the Helm chart form:
- In the Key value store parameters section, choose Built-in option for the Select ETCD filed.
