I’m trying to run Ignition Edge on an industrial PC that runs a slightly modified Debian, but it fails to start. Below is the entirety of my wrapper.log after trying a few times.

```auto
FATAL | wrapper | 2020/03/13 11:42:31 | Unable to get the path for '/home/USER/ignition_8.0.10/./ignition-gateway' - Success
FATAL | wrapper | 2020/03/13 11:42:47 | Unable to get the path for '/home/USER/ignition_8.0.10/./ignition-gateway' - Success
FATAL | wrapper | 2020/03/13 11:44:16 | Unable to get the path for './ignition-gateway' - Success

```

The first two are the result of running `sudo ./ignition.sh start` and the last one is from trying to run `sudo ./ignition-gateway`

I’ve tried both 8.0.9 and 8.0.10 which both get the same error.

There’s a few things to check for here:

- `ignition-gateway` exists in the root of your main install directory
- `ignition-gateway` is set to executable
- `ignition-gateway` has proper permissions for the user that is running the gateway (i.e., `RUN_AS_USER` in `ignition.sh`)

1. It does
2. It is, I had tried running it directly when `ignition.sh` was failing.
3. `RUN_AS_USER` in `ignition.sh` is commented out and not specified.
