HBmonv2 Installation

As kind-of a part 2 to the HBLink3 installation, this is the dashboard install I used form the same developer for the non-Docker install script. 

I ran these commands one by one as well:

# Change to the directory, if you are not already in it
cd /opt/HBLink3_Install
# Run these one by one...
chmod +x HBmonv2_install.sh
# No need to mess with caps, the casing matched!
./HBmonv2_install.sh

With that done, the install will do what it needs to do. Based on the console output, it installs an Apache2 webserver with PHP 7.4. I normally use the most recent LTS version of PHP, but considering this is all a test environment for this, I kept it as is, especially not knowing if it would bork things (like I initially did on the HBLink3 install by using Debian 12 and not 11 or 10). 

I had fired off the install script and walked away - only to come back and see that it needed user input for the RUST installation. I simply hit the enter key to use the default installation, so keep an eye on it, based on the script and if your system is quick enough, that prompt should pop up relatively quick, so don't go anywhere until after you get that (if you don't have RUST installed already).

If all installed well, you should see a message in your terminal like this:

So now it looks like we're done with installing HBMonv2 
Check and see if it's running by typing: systemctl status hbmon 
Access the Dashboard with your favorite browser by going to the 
Dashboards URL at http://<server_address> 

The PARROT server should show under the Connected to Server section on 
the Home page if everything went well and should also show on the Peers page. 
Have fun and 73 

All should be good to go now. You should see the dashboard when you navigate to your server.
