If the package runs and your camera is connected, you should be seeing images. If that's true, I would not change a thing. Your next step then will be to test it under the stars.
You will start the package, KStars, then after initializing Ekos for your mount and camera, slew to a good star area. I would suggest something not too low or high, and, definitely not circumpolar. I would suggest something west of your meridian. This way, if your scope is a GEM, you won't be worrying about a meridian flip.
Now, with the Lin_guider screen open, select the Calibrate window. (third from right icon) You should be seeing hot pixels and some star or stars. Cover your guide telescope. Click the lower right Start button. It will take and save 10 images, your hot pixels should all go away. Then uncover, you should now see only stars or maybe faint hot pixels. Now, click the Find Star button. A box will appear around the star. If the box is too small, change the square size to ensure its enclosed. Then, click the middle right Start button. You should see the star drift in both axis. It should go a few seconds drifting and then returning to the starting position. If it goes the wrong direction, you must go to the Pulse Device Settings window and change the settings. If successful, it will say Done. If the rate is not correct, you will get an error message as the program attempts to return but can't. The star should not be drifting outside the box during the calibration for any length of time. If done successfully, the cross hair lines representing DEC and RA will align over your guide star. If it fails, you must close, change the settings and restart.
Next click the second to right icon, (Guiding) In the lower right click Start. It should begin guiding your telescope. With some luck, the directions of the motors are correct and do not need reversed.
Best wishes,
