<p>This seems to be a bug with Helm 2.14.3 (and previous) and Kubernetes 1.16 <a href="https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/6374" rel="noreferrer">Helm init fails on Kubernetes 1.16.0 bug report on GitHub</a>.</p>

<p>The ticket lists some workarounds - the simplest one is:</p>

<pre><code>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 -
</code></pre>

<p>or with RBAC enabled and <code>tiller</code> service account:</p>

<pre><code>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 -
</code></pre>
