thanks for these instructions.

Before installing helm, the minikube should have socat installed
(sudo apt-get install socat)

I use them to test with the following versions:

vagrant@minikube-dev:~$ helm version
Client: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.6.2", GitCommit:"be3ae4ea91b2960be98c07e8f73754e67e87963c", GitTreeState:"clean"}
Server: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.6.2", GitCommit:"be3ae4ea91b2960be98c07e8f73754e67e87963c", GitTreeState:"clean"}
vagrant@minikube-dev:~$ 
vagrant@minikube-dev:~$ minikube version
minikube version: v0.22.3
vagrant@minikube-dev:~$ kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"8", GitVersion:"v1.8.1", GitCommit:"f38e43b221d08850172a9a4ea785a86a3ffa3b3a", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2017-10-11T23:27:35Z", GoVersion:"go1.8.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"7", GitVersion:"v1.7.5", GitCommit:"17d7182a7ccbb167074be7a87f0a68bd00d58d97", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2017-10-06T20:53:14Z", GoVersion:"go1.8.3", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
vagrant@minikube-dev:~$ 

According to the official documentation, the helm init command has been removed without replacement:

The helm init command has been removed. It performed two primary functions. First, it installed Tiller. This is no longer needed. Second, it setup directories and repositories where Helm configuration lived. This is now automated. If the directory is not present it will be created.
