Kiwix Install fails

THERE ARE NO TAGS FOR KIWIX SO I TAGGED THIS NEXTCLOUD BECAUSE THE FORUM SOFTWARE REQUIRES A TAG

My YunoHost server

Hardware: Old Computer

YunoHost version: 4.3.6.2

I have access to my server : Through ssh and webadmin

Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : NO

Description of my issue

New kiwix app install fails, log says it’s trying to find /home/yunohost.app/kiwix/library.xml. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Tried touch to create a file, it didn’t like an empty file.
