Install failing

I am new to Domoticz. I have a new Raspberry Pi 4B where I installed Raspbian 12 (bookworm) yesterday on a USB3 memory stick. I then tried to install Domoticz by running
sudo bash -c "$(curl -sSfL https://install.domoticz.com)"
from the command line. This appeared to run OK, over 1000 lines of output ending with
Creating database...
::: Restarting services...
:::
::: Enabling domoticz .sh service to start on reboot... done.
:::
::: Starting domoticz .sh service... done.
::: done.
:::
::: Installation Complete! Configure your browser to use the Domoticz using:
::: <local IP address>:8080
::: <local IP address>:443

and told me in a dialog box that the installation log is in /etc/domoticz
The only file in /etc/domoticz is setupVars .conf
When I try to connect with my browser I get an "Unable to connect" message, whether trying from the browser on the Pi or from another machine on the same network.
If I go to the ~/domoticz directory and enter
./domoticz
I get
bash: ./domoticz: cannot execute: required file not found
I repeated with the
-log <file location>
option but no log was created.
(I've had to edit the above in order for my post to be allowed but I think it should still be clear)
I felt that I was trying to do the simplest vanilla installation but I'm not getting very far. Any suggestions as to where I go from here?

Normally domoticz is in the home folder so /home/<user>/domoticz

By default there is no log. That has to be enabled in the startup script if you need that. But it can also always be seen from domoticz webui

Please go to the wiki for further instructions https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Getting_started

Thanks, the wiki page looks useful once I've got Domoticz running but so far I think that I've installed Domoticz but I'm unable to run it, presumably because something is missing from the installation.

Finally getting somewhere. I ran <home>/updaterelease and my browser will now find the Domoticz server
