I am trying to take backup of etcd in my cluster. Why am I getting etcdctl not found? I am running it on my master node.

ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl --endpoints=https://127.0.0.1:2379 --cacert=/etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/ca.crt --cert=/etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.crt --key=/etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.key snapshot save snapshotdb
-bash: etcdctl: command not found
