+Installing the operator with Helm
+---------------------------------
+
+Along with a set of kubernetes manifests, the operator has a basic Helm chart which can be used to manage the installation of the operator.
+The chart is published in the `Dask Helm repo <https://helm.dask.org>`_ repository, and can be installed via:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ helm repo add dask https://helm.dask.org
+    $ helm repo update
+    $ helm install myrelease dask/dask-kubernetes-operator
+
+This will install the custom resource definitions, service account, roles, and the operator deployment.
+
+.. warning::
+    Please note that `Helm does not support updating or deleting CRDs. <https://helm.sh/docs/chart_best_practices/custom_resource_definitions/#some-caveats-and-explanations>`_ If updates
+    are made to the CRD templates in future releases (to support future k8s releases, for example) you may have to manually update the CRDs.
