Hi, Working with the Imx8m Plus board, I’m attempting to use MQTT. However, if I run “sudo systemctl start mosquitto,” I get the following error message and can’t access the mosquitto.conf file in the /etc folder. Mosquito.service was unable to start because it could not be found. I’ve seen that the mosquitto has been included in the **sources/meta-openembedded/meta-networking/recipes-connectivity** path. Please let me know if there is anything I’m missing. Regards Manoj ---

you need to add the package to your local.conf so it will be build and included in the image. `IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " "` ---

Hi jnettlet, After adding the package mosquitto in local.conf file is now enabled. Thank you for your reply. Regards Manoj. ---

Hi jnettlet, After starting the Solidrun board to test the mosquitto, I am unable to view the mosquitto\_sub and mosquitto\_pub in the list. Please refer to the image that is given below and let me know what else I need to accomplish. ![mosquitto](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/solid_run/original/1X/b3e152515b51cde09d564d79adaccac0aad38bd5.png) Regards Manoj ---

from the logs it appears that there is already a mosquitto daemon or some other service using port 1883 on your device. ---

``` I want publish the data using the mosquitto_pub command. However, I am unable to use it as it is not available on the command line. So, for that we need to install mosquitto-client in our Solidrun board. If I execute the pip3 install mosquitto-clients it gives an error like below. ``` ![pip_install](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/solid_run/original/1X/9ee0325a9c1add1abd6d4534beb4bda6c80ec054.png) Please guide me on this.

most likely there is not a package that is compatible with the python version on aarch64. I would recommend you include the package directly in your yocto build recipe.
