Hello @sbelmont

> Hi @Waldemar_Schafer , I'm sorry if I mislead the conversation. Yes, sudo is required and the environment is configured to allow sudo without password for installing and running the agent, but it is restricted to the path provided in lab instructions. What is the path you are running the agent install? That command must be executed from /home/elastic/elastic-agent-8.8.2-linux-x86\_64 directory. Best, Andre

Thanks!!
