If anyone is considering a service mesh like Istio, I just wrote a blog showing how to get Istio stood up on Rancher K8. Hope its helpful to some: [http://rancher.com/microservices-made-easier-using-istio/](http://rancher.com/microservices-made-easier-using-istio/)

Would love to test it out, but it doesn’t work for me.
```auto
$ helm version
Client: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.7.0", GitCommit:"08c1144f5eb3e3b636d9775617287cc26e53dba4", GitTreeState:"clean"}
Server: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.7.0", GitCommit:"08c1144f5eb3e3b636d9775617287cc26e53dba4", GitTreeState:"clean"}
```
```auto
$ helm repo list
NAME URL
stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com
local http://127.0.0.1:8879/charts
incubator http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-charts-incubator
```
```auto
$ helm install -n istio incubator/istio
Error: file "incubator/istio" not found
```

Did you run `helm repo update`?
