netdatacli and netdata-claim.sh not installed

[theblockstalk]

I have successfully run the netdata-agent.yml on my machine (no errors reported). After this I run the claim.yml script and get the following output:

PLAY [Claim netdata node] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [testing.local.primary]

TASK [claim : Get information about running agent] *****************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [testing.local.primary]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": "netdatacli aclk-state json", "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: b'netdatacli': b'netdatacli'", "rc": 2, "stderr": "", "stderr_lines": [], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

If I connect to the machine I can see that the netedata program and service is installed but netdatacli and netdata-claim.sh (also used in claim.yml) programs are not installed.

This was tested on a Docker image running Ubuntu 18.04

You ended up with a version soooo Ancient, I am really sorry for that (and for not replying sooner, feel free to direct ping me next time) let me try to fix that but, to be honest on ubuntu 18.04 you need static installations. so this is not trivial.
