My fault, the version is only included in the website pages, e.g. http://www.networkupstools.org/documentation.html https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/150 >>> 3) Under Installation Instructions, under "State path creation", it >>> says to create the directories and make them owned by the user you >>> created.

When you say "Page 6", are you referring to a PDF?
