git init - permission denied

When I try git init I get permission denied. I'm new to Ubuntu. What might be the reason?

Terminal:

(python36) jkbielan@jkbielan:~/python/projects/leetcode-python$ git init
/home/jkbielan/python/projects/leetcode-python/.git: Permission denied

I tried git init direction and sudo git init direction:

(python36) jkbielan@jkbielan:~/python/projects/leetcode-python$ git init /home/jkbielan/python/projects/leetcode-python
/home/jkbielan/python/projects/leetcode-python/.git: Permission denied
(python36) jkbielan@jkbielan:~/python/projects/leetcode-python$ sudo git init /home/jkbielan/python/projects/leetcode-python
sudo: git: command not found

Thanks for help.

Git wasn't installed in main environment. python36 didn't have permissions and sudo git init didn't work because git wasn't installed.

Lines of code that helped:

source deactivate python36
sudo apt-get install git
git init /home/jkbielan/python/projects/leetcode-python
