Happy result. Thanks again for the help here @TheLumberjack and Happy Independence Day. Didn’t expect to hear back on this so quickly.

Although this question relates to the ZAC quickstart documentation, it's all of a piece with what this thread has been talking about, so I'll tack this question on. In step 4 of the ZAC quickstart page, there is an optional step here which similarly calls out

[Optional] Emit the Ziti Console systemd file and update systemd to start the Ziti Console. If you have not sourced the Ziti helper script, you need to in order to get the necessary function.

Can you tell me which file from the cloned repo is the "helper script" described here? As a person who doesn't write software, I have no idea. This might be an addition to the docs page for slower folks like me.

Yeah that'd be helpful, I agree. It's the same ziti-cli-functions.sh

It contains the createZacSystemdFile function
