Hello, Thanks for the quick response. I am trying to build the client from source for this board ([https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PINE\_A64-LTS/SOPine\_Main\_Page](https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PINE_A64-LTS/SOPine_Main_Page)) since I don’t need full OS updates just a single program update periodically, I run through the instructions on the GitHub repo however I am not sure if it is building correctly as it does generate a mender folder however during the build process returns several “Nothing to do” print outs. Once I transfer this to my single board computer in the `/etc/systemd/system’ directory and attempt to run systemctl enable mender && systemctl start mender is says not such file or directory found. I am pretty confused as to if the build is even working or if its how I’m trying to run it on my embedded system. Thank you in advance for any help! ---

It is still not clear to me what your issues is. Please share the steps you are trying to perform in detail for us to be able to comment. ---

Sorry hope this is in more detail, I start by installing a cross compiler for armV8 aarch64 from sudo apt-get install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu g+±aarch64-linux-gnu at which point I follow the mender guide on the repo and after cloning execute “export PATH=$PATH:/usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/bin” from within the cloned repo, I then am running “export CC=aarch64-linux” at which point I am running wget -q [https://tukaani.org/xz/xz-5.2.4.tar.gz](https://tukaani.org/xz/xz-5.2.4.tar.gz) tar -xzf xz-5.2.4.tar.gz cd xz-5.2.4 sudo ./configure --host=aarch64-linux-gnu --prefix=$(pwd)/install make make install it runs and I execute export LIBLZMA\_INSTALL\_PATH=$(pwd)/install at which point I cross compile with make CGO\_CFLAGS="-I${LIBLZMA\_INSTALL\_PATH}/include" CGO\_LDFLAGS="-L$ {LIBLZMA\_INSTALL\_PATH}/lib" CGO\_ENABLED=1 GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 and it returns several lines many outputting things such as “Making all in tests make[2]: Entering directory ‘/home/christian/go/src/github.com/mendersoftware/mender/xz-5.2.4/tests’ make[2]: Nothing to be done for ‘all’.” I then run sudo make prefix=/home/test install to install it to a separate folder on my build machine which is then copied to the embedded machine through ssh using sudo scp -r test/ [ubuntu@192.168.0.88](mailto:ubuntu@192.168.0.88): and moving it to /etc/systemd/system When I then try to run systemctl enable mender && systemctl start mender on the pine64 it gives Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory I am quite confused Thank you ---

I would image that the command should be something like this to install on a remote target: ``` scp -r test/ ubuntu@192.168.0.88:/ ``` This means that the content of `prefix=/home/test install` needs to be installed in the root directory (`/`) of your device. ---

That was the initial install location for the test folder however it also resulted in the not found error so I had assumed it could not find it in system services and moved it there however it also could not see it. Also seriously thank you for helping me with this ---

Can you share the content of `prefix=/home/test` (just a list of what it contains, not the actual files 😛) and then compare this what is on the system. The location of the systemd service should be `/lib/systemd/system/mender.service` on your device, and step one would be verifying this. ---

Okay sorry for the delay just got done with work this is a screen capture of the test folder generated I moved the folder to the /lib/systemd/system/ and named it mender.service however as its a directory it wont run. ![test](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mender/original/1X/34b7022bef48ea98e4427147df17b0319d98bea4.png) ---

I think I just realized I need to be installing mender from this folder before I have a .service file however im looking at the docs and it does not mention how since I have no Make file ---

Okay I believe I got it running on my system (I will have a follow up post about the documentation clarification, as I had to piece a lot of it together) and not I am trying to have the client authenticate with the demo server I have running on my desktop and there is zero documentation for that what step should I take this is my mender.conf file and the error I get. ![confFile](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mender/original/1X/b466930d0ea5e33dc4fd366f7b25651d84d670e0.png) ![error](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mender/original/1X/130daea312b0fc1b96ef21af3247e2461fc4ecfc.png) ---

It will show on the server if i pass the flag -skipverify Im okay with this for dev operations but wondering what the true cause is and how I fix it thank you in advance ---

I would recommend you to consult our documentation for the various ways of configuring the Mender client, [https://docs.mender.io/](https://docs.mender.io/) The demo `server.crt` file is only valid for `mender.docker.io` and `s3.docker.mender.io` domains. And to properly setup this in a demo environment you will have to make sure that the mentioned domains are resolved to the IP address of your server. Example, ```auto echo "192.168.0.78 docker.mender.io s3.docker.mender.io" >> /etc/host ```
