I had followed the steps here  
[Install Percona Distribution for MongoDB — Percona Distribution for MongoDB 6.0 Documentation](https://docs.percona.com/percona-distribution-for-mongodb/latest/installation.html)  
To install Percona Distribution for MongoDB over Linux - Debian 10 but when i finished the service doesn’t go up

This is the error that raise

Dec 01 06:58:51 esma-psql-clustercontrol systemd[1]: _Failed to start High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database._

I have check the dbPath: /var/lib/mongo and nothing is in there.

Hi, did you make any changes to /etc/mongod.conf ? you can also try starting mongod process manually to see if it prints any errors to stdout.
