Failed to Install the CodeDeploy Agent Using AWS Systems Manager

Question

I set up my Application and Development Group on CodeDeploy EC2 platform where the setup procedure helped me create a State Manager to install the CodeDeploy agent on my EC2 instance for the upcoming developments, but the Run Command history showed a failure of the installation and the CodeDeploy agent is NOT installed and running on my instance.

The instance is assumed right role (incluing `AmazonEC2RoleforAWSCodeDeploy`, `AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess`, and `AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore`) for SSM, CodeDeploy and S3 bucket, and CodeDeploy has the sufficent permissions from the role (including `AWSCodeDeployRole`) to work on EC2 platform. No any issues for SSM and EC2, verified the SSM agent is running on my EC2 instance. However, got error output from Run Command at step 2 - "configurePackage":

> failed to download manifest - failed to retrieve package document description: InvalidDocument: Document with name AWSCodeDeployAgent does not exist.

And here's some metadata of the command:

```
"Command document": "AWS-ConfigureAWSPackage",
"Command parameters": {
    "action": "Install",
    "additionalArguments": "{}",
    "installationType": "Uninstall and reinstall",
    "name": "AWSCodeDeployAgent",
    "version": ""
}
```

I can install CodeDeploy agent using the command line, but I want to figure out how it comes to this error, please help me if you have any ideas or encoutered the same situation before.
