Hi,

I’m running ubuntu 20.04.

Previously I started playing around with Collabora [Build Collabora Online | Collabora Online - Community Page](https://collaboraonline.github.io/post/build-code/) all was fine & dandy with “make run”

The instructions inform you to download `core-cp-6.4-assets.tar.gz` and in that there was the folder `instdir/share/Scripts/python` and also `instdir/program/python/`

I had written a few python scripts and placed them in `instdir/share/Scripts/python` and was able to run them by clicking on a button on the web page by sending a message to the iframe.

I’ve installed Collabora using these instructions [Setting up and configuring native CODE packages on Linux - Collabora Office and Collabora Online](https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/linux-packages/) because I wanted it to start automatically on boot without having to run `make run`

As near as I can tell assets from the tgz are installed in `/opt/collaboraoffice6.4/` however there is no `program/python` folder or `share/Scripts/python`

tldr; I installed from the ubuntu repo how do I run python scripts now?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

{Have you tried / Can you try} installing related packages like `collaboraofficebasis6.4-python-script-provider` and `collaboraofficebasis6.4-pyuno` ?
