SonarQube is a leading open source solution for code quality and security analysis for adopting code quality in your CI/CD. It can be installed as a standalone solution from binaries. In this recipe, we will install it on a Kubernetes cluster using Helm charts.

Let's perform the following steps to get SonarQube up and running:

1. Update your repositories:

$ helm repo update

2. Install SonarQube:

$ helm install stable/sonarqube --name sonar --namespace sonarqube

3. Validate that the PostgreSQL and SonarQube pods are ready:

$ kubectl get pods -n sonarqube
NAME                              READY STATUS  RESTARTS AGE
sonar-postgresql-68b88ddc77-l46wc 1/1   Running 0        16m
sonar-sonarqube-995b9cc79-9vzjn   1/1   Running 1        16m

With that, you've learned how to get SonarQube deployed on the Kubernetes cluster.
