NextionDriver Not Installing Correctly

When I run the Check Installation program of the Nextion Installer, I get the following

+ This seems to be Pi-Star
----------------------
Searching MMDVMHost ...
-----------------------
+ MMDVMHost found at /usr/local/bin/MMDVMHost
+ Searching MMDVMHost configuration file ...
+ MMDVMHost configuration file found at /etc/mmdvmhost
+ Transparent Data section found
I Transparent Data Enabeled
I SendFrameType enabled
I Serial port for Nextion is /dev/ttyNextionDriver
+ MMDVMHost is configured for NextionDriver

--------------------------
Searching NextionDriver ...
---------------------------
+ NextionDriver found at /usr/local/bin/NextionDriver
I Nextion is connected to modem

----------------------------
Checking active programs ...
----------------------------
+ MMDVMHost running with PID 1496
- NextionDriver not running

--------------------------------
| REPORT |
--------------------------------
+ MMDVMHost is configured for NextionDriver
+ The Nextion display must be connected to the modem
+ MMDVMHost is running
- NextionDriver is NOT running

Clearly, the NextionDriver is not installing correctly into the /dev folder. What now ?
Thanks in advance..

IIRC from way back when, you need to run the install a second time over the top of the first install and then it came up properly.....at least thats what I recall.

GL!

One more tip...

Nextion driver is ALREADY installed in PiStar image since version 4.1.0 so, no need to install it just configure your system.
