Vaaman-ctl command not found on Vaaman board

General
1

I am using the Vicharak Vaaman FPGA board.

When I try to run:
sudo vaaman-ctl -h

I get the error:
sudo: vaaman-ctl: command not found

I checked the system and found only:
vaaman-remote-upload in /usr/local/bin

It seems vaaman-ctl is missing.

Could you please guide:

  1. How to install vaaman-ctl?
  2. Is there a specific SDK or package required for the Vaaman board?
  3. Should this tool be preinstalled on the default image?
2 
sudo apt update
sudo apt install vaaman-ctl

Which image are you using !?
Could you send output of cat /etc/os-release

You also use bitman as well.

Do you required to flash file through GU or it can be anything !?
you can also flash using cli command line using bitman as well that is preinstalled in image.

I am now able to flash the program using vaaman-ctl . I also wanted to ask: for uploading bit files to the FPGA, which module should I use? If you have a product link, please share it.
