Install succeeds but domoticz fails to start

I'm installing on debian stretch via curl and it appears to succeed but the service doesn't start - as least I don't find it running with `ps`.
Any advice on where to start debugging this? Apologies for such a naive question but I'm really new to this.
Thanks

Please tell us what you do see on your screen when installing it.
Domoticz does run as a service so you don't see it when using the ps command without options. Try

Here's a screenshot of the install output. `ps -ef | grep [d]omo` doesn't return anything

OK. On the command line do a cd to the directory where you installed domoticz and see what happens when you ask the version or start domoticz from the command line.
for example
Code: Select all
cd /home/pi/domoticz
./domoticz --version
./domoticz

No such file or directory

At this point I think something failed in such a way that the system isn't seeing the domoticz build as an executable.
