      I'm trying to install EVOK on my Rasp with Jessie, but the installation fails. I have pinpointed the error to the line:

      sudo systemctl enable pigpiod

      Gives the error:
      Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory

      I believe it is typo error in the install script. It should be

      systemctl enable pigpio

      since the file name is /etc/systemd/system/pigpio.service. However, changing the name will just return another error:
      Failed to execute operation: Invalid argument

      The next line in the install script:

      systemctl enable evok

      throws exactly the same error:
      Failed to execute operation: Invalid argument

      I must admit I'm not that familiar with systemctl and this way to install services, so I might have missed something important. But obviously the install script fails on those lines.

      Any help on this?

        I solved it myself. The installation script does not work for Jessie. I had to change the file and use the init.d scripts instead of the systemctl commands.

        cp etc/init.d/evok /etc/init.d/
        cp etc/init.d/pigpiod /etc/init.d/
        chmod +x /etc/init.d/evok
        chmod +x /etc/init.d/pigpiod
        update-rc.d pigpiod defaults
        update-rc.d evok defaults

        This works fine!
