Hi,
Please follow the Readme install section.

cd log2ram-master
chmod +x install.sh && sudo ./install.sh

The installer need to be into the folder.

Ok my fault, sorry :)

It's working, just a little error in the config file by default :

ERROR: RAM disk too small. Can't sync. I hope it's clear enough.

Your /var/log folder is bigger than the default size.

You can increase the value ( it's also into the Readme)
