Thanks for your help I got it I think it was between step 3 and 5 I was thinking something should have been showing up in the /boot/pulseway folder and thats what had me stumped.
Having the same problem the /pulseway folder is staying empty as for the log
this is the log file
Jan 6 20:44:30 Tower pulseway: Starting Pulseway Daemon version 6.5 (2019082205)
Jan 6 20:44:30 Tower pulseway: Configuration: cannot open file /etc/pulseway/config.xml
any help would be great
