snap version of helm cannot find executables declared in kubectl config #29

Possibly related to #10 but I wanted to create a separate issue anyway to help future people with the same problem:

While trying to install helm (tiller) on an aws EKS cluster, it didn't work because it couldn't find the iam-aws-authenticator file in $PATH, which is used to authenticate. After a couple of hours of headscratching, I've tried using the binary install to reinstall helm, and it worked at once.

PATH="/my/path:${PATH}" helm
