Installation problems

Hello. I would like to report some problems encountered during the installation of balena and the creation of a bootable USB stick. I am using Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS. I do not know if this is the correct place to do it, or if the problems are due to a lack of experience from my side; nevertheless, I hope it can be useful for more people.

  1. First I downloaded the zip package for Linux. After unzipping it, what should I do? I find a broken link file and no executables (similar to this post. It would be nice if there were some clear installing instructions in the documentation.

  2. Alternatively, I have directly installed balena from the deb package. Then, if I try to burn the latest Ubuntu ISO, I get the error ''requestMetadata is not a function".

In the end, I gave up balena and tried usb-creator-gtk. Everything worked perfect.
