Super helpful - I'm running all these commands and then nothing happens, I'm probably missing a step though. All these commands are succeeding but the app doesn't seem to be starting after I run "sudo systemctl start dremio". Is there another step?

Got my question answered! For anyone else curious if you're running or that wants debug messages if you're not, run:

systemctl status dremio

Finally, point your browser to your ubuntu host on port 9047.

I just tested this today on an AWS EC2 instance with Ubuntu 18.04, and the install still works! Thank you Evan Burke!

I had to work out one kink:
When I tried to start the service, I got this error Unrecognized VM option 'PrintGCDateStamps'.
To solve it, I found this article, which says to use openjdk 8. Here were my steps:

1. sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
2. sudo update-alternatives --config java --> chose java-8 path (for me it was option 2)

After that, it worked just fine.
