failed, you can see the task details.[48523]
Issue 4:
Description: The iSM deployment task is unsuccessful when deploying iSM version 1.0 on a target device running Linux
operating system.
Resolution: Ensure that the dependency packages/executables required for iSM deployment are installed on the target device,
