<p>I have followed the getting started instructions here: <a href="https://linkerd.io/2/getting-started/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://linkerd.io/2/getting-started/</a> for installing linkerd but i am facing error at step 3. The details are as follows.</p>

<p>Please see the command: <strong>linkerd install | kubectl apply -f -</strong></p>

<p>Please see the error below:</p>

<pre><code>Error: open /add-ons\grafana/Chart.yaml: file does not exist
Usage:

Examples:
  # Default install.

  # Install Linkerd into a non-default namespace.
  linkerd install -l linkerdtest | kubectl apply -f -

  # Installation may also be broken up into two stages by user privilege, via

<p>You better work with Microsoft documentation  - <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/servicemesh-linkerd-install?pivots=client-operating-system-linux" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Install Linkerd in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)</a>.</p>

<p>The following steps worked for me :</p>

<pre class="lang-sh prettyprint-override"><code>
# Get AKS credentials
az aks get-credentials --resource-group $(resource_group_name) --name $(cluster_name)

# Download stable release
curl -sLO "https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2/releases/download/stable-2.6.1/linkerd2-cli-stable-2.6.1-linux"

# Copy the linkerd client binary to the standard user program location in your PATH
sudo cp ./linkerd2-cli-stable-2.6.1-linux /usr/local/bin/linkerd  
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/linkerd

#Check linkerd pre if pass with no issue - install Linkerd on AKS
 if linkerd check --pre; then
        linkerd install | kubectl apply -f -
    fi
</code></pre>
