Adding an Armature in 2.31a?

I recently downloaded Blender 2.31a and I want to add an armature. I looked at some older tutorials and they showed me this:

But when I go to the Add Toolbox in 2.31a there is no selection for Armature.

What am I missing?

Is there any way to access this from Blender 2.31a?

Thanks.

It will be in the toolbox if you are in Object mode (not Edit Mode).

I’m in Object Mode now and I still can’t seem to bring it up.

Very frustrating!

I don’t have blender in front of me just now…

but try this

start a clean blender

press the space bar

choose armature from the popup

thanks, lilo. That did the trick!
