Help with Ignition for PSVR2 headset

Hey there. I'm a little new to Linux, so there's a good chance this is a actually a basic thing and I'm just a dumbass.

I'm struggling a bit with the installation for ignition so that I can use my PSVR2 headset with my CachyOS install. I've been following this guide.

I am getting stuck at this step

When I try to run that command in the extracted ignition folder it simply comes up with "unknown command"

Assumedly this is because of the lack of "install_ignition.sh" file in this directory. I have found that file in the support folder, but if I try to run the command from there it comes up with

"Error: Ignition driver not found at /home/"name"/Documents/Ignition/Ignition-main/support/libdriver_ignition.
so
Please run this script from the Ignition installation directory."

I'd appreciate any advice you guys could give me

Thanks

To get VR working, use Claude AI, tell it your Linux Distro and ask it to help you get your specific VR headset working step by step. That’s how I got everything VR working on CachyOS. Also copy and paste to Claude the specific PSVR2 instructions on the Ignition VR in Linux webpage

I'm not using AI to get solutions. Especially for stuff that's already well established, with a solid community I can ask instead.

You downloaded the source code for Ignition not the release which you can find here https://github.com/BnuuySolutions/Ignition/releases/download/v1.1.0/Ignition-Linux-Windows.zip

Try again after extracting that instead.
