Answer 1

This seems to be a bug with Helm 2.14.3 (and previous) and Kubernetes 1.16 Helm init fails on Kubernetes 1.16.0 bug report on GitHub.
The ticket lists some workarounds - the simplest one is:
helm init --override spec.selector.matchLabels.'name'='tiller',spec.selector.matchLabels.'app'='helm' --output yaml | sed 's#apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1#apiVersion: apps/v1#' | kubectl apply -f -
or with RBAC enabled and tiller service account:
helm init --service-account tiller --override spec.selector.matchLabels.'name'='tiller',spec.selector.matchLabels.'app'='helm' --output yaml | sed 's#apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1#apiVersion: apps/v1#' | kubectl apply -f -

Answer 2

it will work if you use this command:
helm init --override spec.selector.matchLabels.'name'='tiller',spec.selector.matchLabels.'app'='helm' --output yaml | sed 's#apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1#apiVersion: apps/v1#' | kubectl apply -f -```
