errorgeopandaspythonspatial-join

I have a problem with GeoPandas sjoin, I work with Ubuntu and I want to use:

opolskieadresy = geopandas.sjoin(smallopolskie, adresy, how="inner", op='intersects')

and i'm getting error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: Spatial indexes require either `rtree` or `pygeos`. See installation instructions at https://geopandas.org/install.html

When I try to install rtree: sudo pip3 install rtee I'm getting:
