Questions about SWAT (Samba Web Administration Tool)

it shows me as logged in with my Ubuntu username, and trying to update SWAT told me this:

sudo apt-get install swat
[sudo] password for user:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
swat is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I may have found a fix on this old thread:

I also executed the following terminal command and now the SWAT page gives me the additional buttons:
