Can't configure Bluetooth on 16.04 Server

I have been trying to follow multiple tutorials, but all of them either reference hidd or bluez-simple-agent.

I have installed bluez bluez-tools bluetooth, but when I run hidd or bluez-simple-agent I get command not found.



I have tried to:



sudo apt-get remove --purge bluez bluez-tools bluetooth && sudo apt-get install bluez bluez-tools bluetooth  


But that yields the same results.



My end goal is to pair a bluetooth keyboard. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

          I was able to follow this AskUbuntu post using bluetoothctl. If you can't type in the bluetoothctl prompt, run it with sudo.



          I also ran [bluetooth]# trust [keyboard MAC Address]
