Followed the tutorial (helm install): https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/install-the-linode-ccm-on-unmanaged-kubernetes/ and now getting the following error:

Hi @AdamJSoftware , this should not have happened. Can you please provide the exact commands you ran hiding the token and which version were you installing?

I can see this happening. You can try this workaround in the meanwhile and we'll get the steps fixed.

helm repo add ccm-linode https://linode.github.io/linode-cloud-controller-manager/
helm repo update ccm-linode

cat <<EOF > values.yaml
apiToken: YOUR_LINODE_API_TOKEN
region: YOUR_LINODE_REGION
env:
  - name: LINODE_URL
    value: "https://api.linode.com"
EOF

helm install ccm-linode -f values.yaml ccm-linode/ccm-linode

Can confirm this fixed it.
