Whenever I run sudo APMrover2 -A udp:192.168.1.133:14550 it says it was not found.

I am able to run the copter -quad fine as i have been doing with my navio but on a new sd card with the deb installed as shown below the command is not found.

What could be causing this?

Does it work if you try to run /opt/apm/bin/APMrover2 ?

Yes!
Sudo /opt/apm/bin/APMrover2 worked.
Thanks, I reformatted, reflashed the card ,and reinstalled APM.deb to no avail and that’s all it took.

I’ll post some pics of the project soon too.

Great!

I think the problem lies in the apm binaries path is not in your PATH environment variable. You could try to make a symlink so you can just type sudo APMrover2 anywhere:
ln -s /opt/apm/bin/APMrover2 /usr/local/bin/APMrover2

@benrexwinkel @matthewbrooks

There was a problem in the deb package that was caused by the inconsistent APM binaries naming.

For now the solution, @benrexwinkel has come up with, does a great job fixing the issue. You also need to type sudo before ln to have enough permissions to write to /usr/bin.

The issue will be fixed in the next package update later this week. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for pointing out the problem.
