Description

Description: I got the following error while trying to Install Envoy Gateway v1.3.2

`helm upgrade eg oci://docker.io/envoyproxy/gateway-helm --version v1.3.2 -n envoy-gateway-system

Pulled: docker.io/envoyproxy/gateway-helm:v1.3.2 Digest: sha256:0070bdddc186e6bd48007a84c6d264b796d14017436f38ccfe5ca621aefc1ca5 Error: UPGRADE FAILED: "eg" has no deployed releases`

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Helm upgrade error and update the installation documentation to clarify that a deployment named 'eg' must exist before upgrading, or add a note about performing the first installation using `helm install` instead of `helm upgrade`.
