What I Did:
I installed Helm with

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/helm/master/scripts/get | bash
helm init --history-max 200


Getting an error:

$HELM_HOME has been configured at /root/.helm.
Error: error installing: the server could not find the requested resource
  1. what does that error mean?
  2. How should I install Helm and tiller?

Ubuntu version: 18.04
Kubernetes version: 1.16
Helm version:

helm version
Client: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.14.3", GitCommit:"0e7f3b6637f7af8fcfddb3d2941fcc7cbebb0085", GitTreeState:"clean"}
Error: could not find tiller

Update:
I tried @shawndodo's answer but still tiller not installed

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 -

Update 2:
helm init --history-max 200 working in kubernetes version 1.15

I met the same problem, then I found this reply on here.

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 -

It works for me. You can see the detail in this issue.
