It would be far better to follow the official documentation for installing Guacamole. There will be a learning curve, but you will ultimately end up with a better understanding of how things work, which will come in handy for future maintenance, etc.: http://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/installing-guacamole.html If you're familiar with Docker at all, that could be another option: http://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/guacamole-docker.html Finally, if you encounter problems while following the docs, we're here to help. - Mike
