Trying to run compiled latest Git Hub, but get 403 Forbidden- Debian Buster [ Solved ]

Ive compiled the latest Git hub source fine and can run it ok.

I'm running it by calling ./build.linux/tvheadend
But when I try to connect to it via :9981 I get the username password and then I get a 403 Forbidden page.

The log shows this
Jan 17 15:07:20 minipc tvheadend²³⁵⁴⁴: htsp: Got connection from 192.168.1.64
Jan 17 15:07:20 minipc tvheadend²³⁵⁴⁴: htsp: 192.168.1.64: Disconnected

Is there something I need to do before starting it, for example when you install a package on debian there is config utility that comes up.

For others the buster packages to get it compiled were

sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget
sudo apt-get install libavahi-client-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget libavahi-client-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev
sudo apt install gettext
sudo apt install cmake
sudo apt install dvb-apps
sudo apt install libdvbcsa-dev
sudo apt install libbsd-dev
sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
sudo apt-get install libva-dev

I have a second copy ( halted ) installed as a snap, I assume this is not interfering.

Would like to be able to use a compiled version etc

Just did tvheadend --help and saw this

-C, --firstrun              If no user account exists then create one with
                              no username and no password. Use with care as
                              it will allow world-wide administrative access
                              to your Tvheadend installation until you create or edit
                              the access control from within the Tvheadend web interface.

which solved the problem

in case it helps someone else doing the same.
