Welcome @Kosala_Randika_Paran!

The [Set up Fleet Server](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/fleet-server.html) section of the [Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/index.html) describes how to setup Fleet and enroll agents for both Elastic Cloud and self-managed deployments, as illustrated by the screenshot below:

 ![add_a_fleet_server](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/f/3f649f998d1ccfe4b19bcf3fce850a3f0be73db7.png)

_Above: The current version of the [How to add a Fleet Server](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/add-a-fleet-server.html) documentation_

It sounds like you may have a newly installed self-managed deployment. If so, be sure to select the _Self-managed_ tab in the screenshot above.

Alternatively, you may also consider spinning up a new deployment that (out of the box) includes a Fleet Server via a free [Elastic Cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud) trial. To compare the steps required to get started, click the _Elasticsearch Service_ tab in the screenshot above.
