Linux plex service will not launch

Plex Media Server

I have been trying to get Plex media server to start as a service and I get the error below. I am not sure how to diagnose this. Any advise?

`sudo systemctl status -l plexmediaserver`
`● plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server`
`Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)`

What linux dist?
How did you install? apt install plexmediaserver?
