* The `balena scan` command requires a multicast DNS (mDNS) service like Bonjour or Avahi:
* On Windows, check if 'Bonjour' is installed (Control Panel > Programs and Features).
If not, you can download Bonjour for Windows from https://support.apple.com/kb/DL999
* Most 'desktop' Linux distributions ship with [Avahi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_(software)).
Search for the installation command for your distribution. E.g. for Ubuntu:
`sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon`
* macOS comes with [Bonjour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_(software)) built-in.
