I have uploaded the tar.gz file to my cloud VM and try to use

You said in a later email that you didn't set a personal password,
but you must be running as some user. How did you get a prompt as
that user and did you try "sudo"?
Yes I am logged in as a user and the user is my email address. I
uploaded to a bucket the gzipped tarball and created an image for the
VM instance. But I am logged in a user and not root.
Try changing the password to the user you have, then see what groups
are assigned. Some cloud installs initially have an empty password.
I tried using passwd and this was the error I got,
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
IDK where else to change the password. I usually run my machine with
root and full access so I am not used to users.
