That worked.

Now on
https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#starting-mailman
-automatically it says

"Pay attention to the config file output above and make sure that you see
/etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg there. If the config path is different, you should
make sure to create a new config file at /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg and
re-run the command."

Well...mailman info yields

GNU Mailman 3.3.5 (Tom Sawyer)
Python 3.7.3 (default, Mar 23 2024, 16:12:05)
[GCC 8.3.0]
config file: /opt/mailman/mm/mailman.cfg
db url: postgres://mailman:5DqTHnv8hUQSdd@localhost/mailman
devmode: DISABLED
REST root url: http://localhost:8001/3.1/
REST credentials: restadmin:restpass

Should I create a new config file at /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg ?

Lastly, when I ran this command it says "loaded failed failed"

(venv) mailman@lists:/opt/mailman/mm$ systemctl list-units | grep -i mailman
  gunicorn.service
loaded active running   GNU Mailman web interfaces
● mailman.service
loaded failed failed    GNU Mailing List Manager

Please advise. Thank you.

In Mailman's var/locks directory (maybe /opt/mailman/mm/var/locks/) you will
see at least two files. The ones of interest are:
```
master.lck
master.lck|<host_name>|<pid>|<random_integer>
```
First verify that pid is not running or if it is, that it's not Mailman's
`master` process. Then remove all the files from the var/locks/ directory
and Mailman should start.
