Hi,

I tried to register both Tinker Board 2 and Tinker Board to get the error code (2). See the error message as follows:

root@linaro-alip:/# R3\_REGISTRATION\_CODE=“XXXXXXXXXXXXX” sh -c “$(curl -L [https://downloads.remote.it/remoteit/install\_agent.sh](https://downloads.remote.it/remoteit/install_agent.sh))”

There is already a registration file so skipping license key registration

- Distribution: debian

- OS: Tinkerboard

- Installing the remoteit Agent package for arm64

command: curl [https://downloads.remote.it/remoteit/latest/remoteit.arm64.tinkerboard.deb](https://downloads.remote.it/remoteit/latest/remoteit.arm64.tinkerboard.deb) --output /tmp/remoteit.deb

Reading package lists… Error!  
E: Sub-process Popen returned an error code (2)  
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header  
E: Problem with MergeList /tmp/remoteit.deb  
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Please let me know how to correct the problem. Both boards are loaded with Debian 10 V2.0.14.

Thanks,  
Robin

The problem is that we do not have a 64 bit version of the Tinkerboard package, however you can just install the correct Debian package for your architecture manually.  
See the packages here:  
[https://link.remote.it/download/linux](https://link.remote.it/download/linux)

And then manually install it with these directions:
