It won't help you understand how to install it, but if you just want to get it done, see http://stackpoint.io

They support bare metal providers, like Packet, but they also support inexpensive platforms, like Digital Ocean.

Really handy if your goal to experiment with an up and running cluster and don't want the hassle of installation.

Stackpoint user here; running a very small (3 node) cluster on DigitalOcean currently using their service. It's been relatively painless so far, but I'm pretty new to k8s so my needs are very basic.
