### Linux Service
If you are running this on a linux based system, it will use your terminal to run the program interactively, preventing you using it for other tasks and requiring it to be open to run the server.
_Note: You could use screen or tmux instead for virtual terminals_
To run the server non-interactively, we can use a systemctl service by copying the following file:
```shell
cp ./systemd.example /etc/systemd/system/darkflame.service
```
Make sure to edit the file in `/etc/systemd/system/darkflame.service` and change the:
- `User` and `Group` to the user that runs the darkflame server.
- `ExecPath` to the full file path of the server executable.
To register, enable and start the service use the following commands:
- Reload the systemd manager configuration to make it aware of the new service file:
```shell
systemctl daemon-reload
```
- Start the service:
```shell
systemctl start darkflame.service
```
- Enable OR disable the service to start on boot using:
```shell
systemctl enable darkflame.service
systemctl disable darkflame.service
```
- Verify that the service is running without errors:
```shell
systemctl status darkflame.service
```
- You can also restart, stop, or check the logs of the service using journalctl
```shell
systemctl restart darkflame.service
systemctl stop darkflame.service
journalctl -xeu darkflame.service
```
