mtf-pi-scout.service not running

Hello! I've been trying to get Measure the Future to work since I needed this for my thesis. However, the mtf-pi-scout service fails work and I don't know why. I'm running this on Buster since I couldn't download the dependencies needed in Jessie (the specified version in the manual). I've checked the log through journalctl and it still doesn't tell me why it's not working.
this is the message I get when i run systemctl status mtf-pi-scout:
`● mtf-pi-scout.service - The Measure the Future scout

How can I get this to work?
