The problem
I have tried a couple of different install methods using the instructions for curl and pipx however none of them seem to be installing the service so that it will automatically start when the system boots. I can manually start/stop it just fine but cannot figure out how or why I can't get the service to automatically start at boot.

When i get to the point where the install is asking to install as a user service, if I select "false" to install as a system service I get the following error:

PermissionError: [permission denied]: '/etc/systemd/system/lnxlink.service'

If I throw sudo in front of lnxlink -c lnxlink.yaml I get an error:
sudo: lnxlink: command not found

When you run it as a user it asks you if you want to install it as a user service. I would suggest leaving the default which is true.
If you are installing it in a server environment, then you could find the path of the app which lnxlink and run the result with sudo.
