Starting AWS Collector on Linux without Docker

Plugins Observability

Hello,
I am new to AWS open distro. We are trying to get Trace Analytics to work and need to install the AWS Collector on my local linux machine. I run a ubuntu linux for development.

I downloaded the aws-otel-collector-0.7.0.tar.gzip file and built the same using the makefiles provided. I see the following in my bin direcory -

awscollector_linux_amd64
golangci-lint
staticcheck
windows

I think the executable I need to start is awscollector_linux_amd64 but I am unable to get the process to run. Can anyone tell me how to start up the collector locally?
