+# Services
+
+In this install folder there are two service files.
+
+To set up these services, first move them into the `/etc/systemd/system/` directory.
+
+From there, you can use the following commands to manage the services:
+
+`systemctl start <service-name>`
+*Start the service*
+
+`systemctl enable <service-name>`
+*Enables the service so it will start after future reboots*
+
+`systemctl status <service-name>`
+*Displays basic information about the status of the service (i.e. whether it is running or not)*
+
+`journalctl -u <service-name>`
+*Displays service stdout logs, useful for if a service crashes and you need to debug*
