I am following the documentation to deploy a system update, and am running into a mender not found error. This is on a new build running on Ubuntu 20. What am I doing wrong? Happy to provide any additional information to help.

Hi @numanames,

Please check if the Mender client is installed on the golden device, e.g. the one that you want to create the artifact from.

Thank you, I was confused on the difference between the golden devices and regular, but I have sense been able to resolve this.
