It looks like you’re missing the ydotool.service unit file in the package. Can you check by running
dpkg -L ydotool-custom(the name of the package you chose in step 3.4)?Unit files are how services are defined in most Linux-based desktop systems, similar to services in Windows.



Ah okay, it’s a user unit then. Try the following:
$ systemctl --user enable ydotoold $ systemctl --user start ydotoold
