Pterodactyl Wings Won't Install - Can't Find Help Online

Just had a question up here, but ran into another problem. I'm on one of the final steps of running these commands to install the Wings: sudo mkdir -p /etc/pterodactyl curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/wings "https://github.com/pterodactyl/wings/releases/latest/download/wings_linux_$([[ "$(uname -m)" == "x86_64" ]] && echo "amd64" || echo "arm64")" sudo chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/wings Everything appeared to work/download just fine. However when I run the command (sudo wings --debug) to make sure Wings is working correctly. It provides me with an error saying this: 2024/06/29 21:26:28 cmd/root: error while reading configuration file: yaml: unmarshal errors: line 1: cannot unmarshal !!str /var/li... into config.Configuration I have no clue why it's doing this and I can't find any similar issues online. Any help?

Would recommend posting your error in code block in the ptero discord. Same thing happened to me and it turned out I had a daemon running wings and was also trying to run wings again, so I stopped the 2nd instance of wings and it worked. Something worth checking I guess
