Retried install and reports already satisfied with .local/bin as install location.

Concerned to modify .service file as it will be different to documentation and will cause confusion at a later stage. Can I ask why the installation location is different than the one expected. It would also be useful (For newbies) to document the expected location post successful install, as I was lost.

Also if I am using the root .service file as opposed to the user .service file what are the differences. I understand running as root could be a security issue, but beyond that what is recommended.

Thanks

Is there to be any response to this. I still have a serviceable Pi but cannot start indiwebserver unless I login and do it manually.

All forum posts & tutorials read but they conflict and do not seem to be up to date.

Regards.

I would suggest you to install indi-web as root:
sudo pip install indiweb
and run it as "pi" user.

In Raspbian the indi-web script will be installed in /usr/local/bin/. The indiwebmanager-pi.service should work without modifications in that case.

If you use a different user, remember to change the line "User=pi" in the service file.

After uninstalling indiweb (sudi pip uninstall indiweb) and re-installing using sudo the indiweb script was found as you said in /usr/local/bin
I modified the startup script to suit my user and we are now working.
Many thanks.

PS. I am running the Pi on Ubuntu Mate, not Rasbian.

Confirming Horus Astro's last post-
sudo pip uninstall indiweb
and then
sudo pip install indiweb
corrected the issue. My script was already in place, and did its job.

Thanks to everyone.

Best regards
