install on centos 8
Maybe corrupted file?
No, that is not the reason. The same file on Centos7 works OK.
But on Centos8 it doesn't work. Fresh download and installation on Centos8 (and as you can see the old file size is the same as new file size).
There must be another reason.

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/traccar.service → /etc/systemd/system/traccar.service.omg, i didn't think this could be the problem. Thank you very much!!
I try install traccar on latest centos 8, but i still get error "Uncompressing traccarExtraction failed"
Pls, do you have any idea, where is the problem? Thank you
