I tried installing Wazuh three times using the Quickstart option and it always fails when it tries to install the Manager. No reason is given, it just uninstalls everything it has installed up to that point.  

I then tried installing the components separately. I had no issues with the Indexer but the Manager Service fails when I enable and start it.  

# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl enable wazuh-manager
# systemctl start wazuh-manager

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/wazuh-manager.service → /lib/systemd/system/wazuh-manager.service.
Job for wazuh-manager.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status wazuh-manager.service" and "journalctl -xeu wazuh-manager.service" for details.

And this is what I get when I verify the Wazuh Manger's status:

# systemctl status wazuh-manager
systemd[1]: Starting Wazuh manager...
env[17765]: /usr/bin/env: ‘/var/ossec/bin/wazuh-control’: No such file or directory
systemd[1]: wazuh-manager.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=127/n/a
systemd[1]: wazuh-manager.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Failed to start Wazuh manager.

I am trying to install Wazuh as a single node on a dedicated computer. If needed, here are machine's specs: 
Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS              
Kernel: Linux 6.5.0-28-generic
Architecture: x86-64
Memory 8Gb
Processor Intel Core i5-2430M C...@2.4Ghz x 4

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello Ethel!

Reviewing the response to your commands makes me think that the manager would not be installed directly.
You mentioned that you are installing the manager using the quickstart option.
Would this installation be mediated by a wizard or step by step?
According to your comment, the indexer would be installing satisfactorily and the problem arises when installing wazuh-server?
