I used the wget address above and modified the version to the latest number. That downloaded an archive successfully. I unzipped it and configured my instance following the instructions above.
The result didn’t capture data.
I should have downloaded it with a gui and got owa_1.7.0_packaged.tar.

Note the ….packaged .tar . When I replaced the previous owa folder and updated my tracking script in the webpage of interest, I had data as soon as I made a test visit to my tracked site.

The address at github of the tarball to use has changed significantly.
The rest of the instructions are helpful.
