You can find a `gotosocial.service` file in the `example` folder on [github](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/main/example/gotosocial.service) or your installation.
Copy it to `/etc/systemd/system/gotosocial.service`.
Copy it to `/etc/systemd/system/gotosocial.service`:
```bash
sudo cp /gotosocial/example/gotosocial.service /etc/systemd/system/
```
Then use `sudoedit /etc/systemd/system/gotosocial.service` to change the `ExecStart=` and `WorkingDirectory=` lines according to your installation.
If you have been following this guide word for word the defaults should be fine.
After you're done enable the service.
After you're done enable the service:
```bash
sudo systemctl enable --now gotosocial.service
```
