Honestly feeling kind of embarrassed to ask this but I have never installed packages manually with from a GitHub release and don't really know how I looked around for awhile but could not figure it out that being said were do I install the .linux.x86_64 file to? sorry to waste your time

No worries. It looks like right now the standard for most distributions is to put custom binaries in ~/.local/bin. So do this

  • mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
  • mv servitor.linux.x86_64 ~/.local/bin/servitor
  • chmod +x ~/.local/bin/servitor

Then depending on your distribution you may have to add ~/.local/bin to $PATH. So if echo $PATH doesn't contain ~/.local/bin, then do

  • echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"' >> ~/.profile
  • source ~/.profile

Let me know if that works.
