    The mistake you're making is attempting to start Jellyfin by typing jellyfin in the terminal after installing it with the script
    Code:
    curl -s https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash
     

    Jellyfin runs as a system service, so you should not start it manually from the terminal. If you try, you'll encounter an error message like this:

    Code:
    The server is expected to host the web client, but the provided content directory is either invalid or empty: /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web. If you do not want to host the web client with the server, you may set the '--nowebclient' command line flag, or set 'hostwebclient=false' in your config settings.

    After running the script, the next step is to configure Jellyfin by accessing it via your web browser at http://localhost:8096/ . If needed, rerun the installation script and then proceed with the web-based configuration.
