how to run fwupd on Ubuntu

Question

Hi there, I have an nrf52840 DK and I wonder if it is possible to upgrade my own application firmware via fwupd tool on Ubuntu.I want to successfully upgrade the development kit on unbutu using fwupd.But I find that there is no actual tutorial that shows me how to upgrade step by step.What firmware should I burn so that unbutu recognizes that this is a hid device 
 I refer to the following links but to no avail.

Some extra info: 
 if you go to production, you should change at least MCUboot key, Device name, VID and PID for your final product based on nRF Desktop (mouse/keyboard) 
 Then you can get an account at https://fwupd.org/ : from here you can manage the FW updates to your products (based on VID/PID/product name, etc). 
 We can list your VID/PID here ( https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/blob/main/plugins/nordic-hid/nordic-hid.quirk ) so that you can re-use Nordic fwupd plug-in.
