# Install NeMo Platform with Helm

NeMo Platform is bundled in an all-in-one Helm chart for self-managed Kubernetes deployments. Use these guides to deploy the platform on local clusters such as minikube and kind, managed clusters such as EKS, AKS, GKE, and OKE, or on-prem Kubernetes.

Start with [Prerequisites](/documentation/self-managed-deployment/setup/helm/prerequisites), then follow [Install](/documentation/self-managed-deployment/setup/helm/install). The install guide pins the chart with `NMP_HELM_CHART_VERSION` and uses the `nvidia/nemo-platform` NGC org for chart and image access.
