I am running Ubuntu 20.4 and I have done the following:

1. Install Docker from [Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu | Docker Docs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/)
2. Install Docker Compose with sudo apt install docker-compose
3. Install Kubernetes with sudo apt-get install -y kubelet kubeadm kubectl
4. Add Kubernetes Cluster from [Creating a cluster with kubeadm | Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/create-cluster-kubeadm/)
5. Install helm

I now try to install Zammad but I get error “Error: create: failed to create: namespaces “zammad” not found”:

```auto
m@oter:~$ helm repo add zammad https://zammad.github.io/zammad-helm
"zammad" has been added to your repositories
m@oter:~$ helm upgrade --install zammad zammad/zammad --namespace=zammad
Release "zammad" does not exist. Installing it now.
Error: create: failed to create: namespaces "zammad" not found

```

### Infos:

- Used Zammad version: 5.21
- Used Zammad installation type: [Install on Kubernetes — Zammad System Documentation documentation](https://docs.zammad.org/en/latest/install/kubernetes.html)
- Operating system: Ubuntu 20.4
