Hello,

I'm trying to the follow the installation / setup instructions here 
https://www.bacula.org/13.0.x-manuals/en/main/Installing_Bacula.html

Unfortunately, I'm finding these docs hard to follow.

The 'Installing Bacula' section appears to focus primarily on building Bacula 
from the source.

However, in my case, I have downloaded the Debian 11 binaries, so I think this 
section is largely irrelevant in my scenario.

I have downloaded and installed the following packages:


sudo dpkg -i bacula-common_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb



sudo dpkg -i bacula-client_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb



sudo dpkg -i bacula-console_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb



sudo apt-get install dbconfig-common

sudo apt-get install dbconfig-pgsql

sudo apt-get install postgresql-contrib



sudo dpkg -i bacula-postgresql_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb

During the postgresql installation a menu appeared, and I was prompted to 
perform some high-level database configuration.

So, to the best of my knowledge I have installed Bacula OK and basic PostgreSQL 
configuration is done.

In the tutorial section 
https://www.bacula.org/13.0.x-manuals/en/main/Brief_Tutorial.html

The first step is:

  1.  cd <install-directory>
But I don't have an install directory, as I downloaded all of the binaries. So, 
where should I be starting from?

Step 2. Start the Database.

According to systemctl: PostgreSQL service is active.

Step 3. Start the Daemons with ./bacula start
I get no such file or directory.

The files / folders that I do have are:
/opt/bacula
/opt/bacula/scripts/bacula
/var/log/bacula
/var/lib/bacula

Would appreciate some suggestions on what to do / try next.

Also, is there by chance another installation guide / tutorial that is perhaps 
easier to follow than this guide. I've had a look on Google and YouTube and 
while I have found some other resources, they don't seem to be the "answer". 
So, for now, I've been persisting with this guide.

Thanks

Regards,
Vaughan
