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
