Per title. Installed on Debian linux using the zip file following the instructions in the README. I created my log in, selected standard edition, etc. When it got to starting the gateway, it got stuck. Tried stopping, rebooting, starting and didn't help.

deleted wrapper.log and ran ignition.sh start. Relevant part of the log is:

Would love any suggestions on how to move forward.

I think you missed some of the logs, the stack trace looks incomplete. Can you upload the whole log file instead?

```

The important part:

```auto
 java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/local/bin/ignition/lib/runtime/jre-nix/lib/libawt_xawt.so: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

```

Is this a headless environment? What version of Debian?

Headless so everything is command line via ssh.

Debian 10

Hmm. Well, for now you probably need to install the `libxrender1` package.

Did that and tried again. Saw more, similar errors.

Ran apt upgrade and a lot of stuff upgraded.

Tried again and still did not succeed. New wrapper.log file:

Now try installing `libXtst.so.6` package?

I usually just install the non-headless version of `openjdk-11-jdk`. The non-headless jre would suffice, I suppose, but I like having the tools if I need them.

I imagine this only works because it also happens to install the necessary dependencies, but not because Ignition will use this JDK - Ignition includes its own. You _can_ modify ignition.conf to point at another JDK, though...

Looks like now you need the `libstxt6` package.

Yup. And then I only repoint Ignition to use the system JDK if I need to profile it.
