[SOLVED] Unable to launch helm command in EC2 instance

Issue

Environment: AWS EC2

Verified I can run helm under generic ec2-user account, unable to get run it under individual users.

My user account returns this error:

WARNING: stat /home/$USER.config/helm/registry/config.json: permission denied 
/home/$USER/.config/helm/registry/config.json oras.land/oras-go/pkg/auth/docker.NewClientWithDockerFallback oras.land/[email protected]/pkg/auth/docker/client.go:80 helm.sh/helm/v3/pkg/registry.NewClient helm.sh/helm/v3/pkg/registry/client.go:83 main.newDefaultRegistryClient helm.sh/helm/v3/cmd/helm/root.go:277 main.newRootCmd helm.sh/helm/v3/cmd/helm/root.go:155 main.main helm.sh/helm/v3/cmd/helm/helm.go:66 runtime.main runtime/proc.go:250 runtime.goexit runtime/asm_amd64.s:1598

I verified my $PATH has /usr/local/bin Verified the permissions on helm, they're the same as kubectl which works fine

Solution

Check the permission and fix is necessary the file permissions with the command:

ls -al /home/$USER.config/helm/registry/config.json
