Debian install instructions clarification

[ckronengold]

Hi -

Linux rookie here, so its possible that Ubuntu and Debian and other linux flavors install packages differently. But....

I was installing the trial/free version on Ubuntu 17.04, following the instructions in the sticky and ran into a few problems.

When unpacking the tarball and running the app the folder path is different than what is listed in the instructions.

Listed: Run Asset:

cd /usr/bin/asset/bin
./AssetUPnP

In my install (again, maybe I did something wrong), the app was unpacked here:
/usr/bin/asset/Asset-R6-Linux-x64-trial/bin$

so the instruction should be
cd /usr/bin/asset/Asset-R6-Linux-x64-trial/bin

./AssetUPnP

Does the full version install differently?

Either way, I just thought I'd mention / ask in case other people were getting frustrated with trying to install the Trial version.

Great server! Definitely upgrading to the full version.

Also, on Ubuntu 17.04, the CRONTAB didn't work for me.

I created a service file:
[Unit]
Description=Launch AssetUPnP
DaemonAfter=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/asset/AssetUPnP/bin/AssetUPnP
KillMode=process

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then I enabled with:
root$: systemctl enable AssetUPNP

Now AssetUPnP is running at reboot.

After too many other fits and starts with Ubuntu Server 16.04, I decided to do a clean install of my OS (Ubuntu 17.10, giving up on running CLI only) with just the few packages I wanted to run.

Most of the other packages all installed and run cleanly, but I'm still having a problem getting Asset UPnP to start

Is there something wrong here?

* daemon's notion of time and timezones.
*
* Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
* email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
*
* For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
* at 5 a.m every week with:
* 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
*
* For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
*
* m h  dom mon dow   command
@reboot /usr/bin/asset/Asset-R6-Linux-x64-registered/bin/AssetUPnP

I can launch AssetUPnP from Terminal, but it wont run at reboot.

That exact command line will launch asset?
