Hey guys , im pretty new to this and i was trying to install it on ubuntu 22.04 without docker to monitor my firewall and i cant seem to find any guides in regards to this. would appreciate any help Thanks

It's listed as the primary way to run the software at https://github.com/bluecmd/fortigate_exporter?tab=readme-ov-file#usage. Just download the correct binary for your system from the releases page.

is there a way to set it as a service enabled on boot?
because im trying it out and its not working

Sorry, don't have time to hold hands on basic Linux administration. I'll leave the issue open for others to chime in if they want to.
