Using Boatbomber's RepoToRoblox plugin is the easiest way to install in Studio.

In the RepoToRoblox widget, enter howmanysmall as the Owner and Helium as the Repo.
Click the Clone Repo button.

Method #2 - HttpService#

This method uses HttpService to install Helium.

In Roblox Studio, paste the following command into your command bar.
Run the following command:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local HttpEnabled = HttpService.HttpEnabled
HttpService.HttpEnabled = true
local function RequestAsync(RequestDictionary)
	return HttpService:RequestAsync(RequestDictionary)
end
local function GetAsync(Url, Headers)
	Headers["cache-control"] = "no-cache"
	local Success, ResponseDictionary = pcall(RequestAsync, {
		Headers = Headers;
		Method = "GET";
		Url = Url;
	})
	if Success then
		if ResponseDictionary.Success then
			return ResponseDictionary.Body
		else
			return false, string.format("HTTP %d: %s", ResponseDictionary.StatusCode, ResponseDictionary.StatusMessage)
		end
	else
		return false, ResponseDictionary
	end
end
local function Initify(Root)
	local InitFile = Root:FindFirstChild("init") or Root:FindFirstChild("init.lua") or Root:FindFirstChild("init.client.lua") or Root:FindFirstChild("init.server.lua")
	if InitFile then
		InitFile.Name = Root.Name
		InitFile.Parent = Root.Parent
		for _, Child in ipairs(Root:GetChildren()) do
			Child.Parent = InitFile
		end
		Root:Destroy()
		Root = InitFile
	end
	for _, Child in ipairs(Root:GetChildren()) do
		Initify(Child)
	end
	return Root
end
local FilesList = HttpService:JSONDecode(assert(GetAsync(
	"https://api.github.com/repos/howmanysmall/Helium/contents/src",
	{accept = "application/vnd.github.v3+json"}
)))
local Helium = Instance.new("Folder")
Helium.Name = "Helium"
for _, FileData in ipairs(FilesList) do
	local ModuleScript = Instance.new("ModuleScript")
	ModuleScript.Name = tostring(string.match(FileData.name, "(%w+)%.lua"))
	local Success, Source = GetAsync(FileData.download_url, {})
	if not Success then
		ModuleScript.Source = string.format("-- %s", tostring(Source))
	else
		ModuleScript.Source = tostring(Success)
	end
	ModuleScript.Parent = Helium
end
Helium.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
Initify(Helium)
HttpService.HttpEnabled = HttpEnabled
