Stenographer will not start on Ubuntu 16.04LTS

Newbie here to Stenographer (and coding in general). I have Google Stenographer installed on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. I am following the documentation provided on GitHub. By all accounts the install of Go and Stenographer went fine, and Stenographer appears to be properly configured. However, I cannot get Stenographer to start. When I try starting it, I see the following line in the 'messages' log:

stenographer [PID]: could not read config file "/etc/stenographer/config": read
/etc/stenographer/config: is a directory

I found in the stenographer.go file where it references "/etc/stenographer/conf" and I appended config.go to the end of so that it now reads "/etc/stenographer/config/config.go". I thought perhaps something was referencing this particular line and adding the name of the config file would be the fix, but it was not. I've also verified the proper users/groups have the appropriate levels of access to directories and files per the instructions.

Does anyone know what might be causing this problem? I can find nothing similar to it online as pertaining to Stenographer.
