> Hi @mladen.miljic, you can always ssh into the device and run the command manually. Alternatively you can setup a [state script](https://docs.mender.io/artifacts/state-scripts) to run that. Depending on your needs a preinstall or a postinstall script might be the best choice.

Since Mender 2.0.0, some [state scripts](https://docs.mender.io/2.3/artifacts/state-scripts#standalone-mode) (not all) can run in standalone mode.
