It seems we need to execute the command from the directory : /home/elastic/elastic-agent-8.8.2-linux-x86\_64 Similar error : > [@What is sudo password in the lab environment](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/what-is-sudo-password-in-the-lab-environment/375035/3): > > Hi @Andre_Murbach_Maidl I have restarted the environment with a fresh shell and tried this: elastic@ip-172-31-35-63:~$ pwd /home/elastic elastic@ip-172-31-35-63:~$ sudo ./elastic-agent install --url=https://fleet-server:8220 --enrollment-token=.......... [sudo] password for elastic: There are 2 reasons that sudo is required: in the step 12 it is explicitly asked for After the Elastic Agent is installed you can use `sudo /opt/Elastic/Agent/elastic-agent` in case you need to troubleshoot. E… Thanks!!
