• Python

• the command line/terminal

Execute `warnet setup`

Execute the warnet setup command and select the No Backend option. When it asks if you'd like to install Helm, say yes:

(.venv)$ warnet setup
                                                                    
                    ╭───────────────────────────╮                   
                    │  Welcome to Warnet Setup  │                   
                    ╰───────────────────────────╯
