I have problems getting whoogle started via whoogel.service on my Linux Mint. attached my file. When I'm trying to start it I get this error message:
Failed to start whoogle.service: Unit whoogle.service has a bad unit file setting

what am I doing wrong ?

as soon as terminal is closed I can't start it anymore. when I try run from main whoogle folder, I'm getting command not found.
whoogle.service.txt

EDIT: I have renamed it to .txt, otherwise I can't attach

@benbusby commented on GitHub (Sep 8, 2023):

Can you paste the contents of your whoogle systemd service file here? The "has a bad unit file setting" error can be due to having spaces surrounding the = in your file.

For example:

ExecStart = /path/to/whoogle

would need to be changed to

ExecStart=/path/to/whoogle

Closing for now since this seems like it might just be a syntax issue, but feel free to keep commenting here and I'll continue helping out wherever I can.
