+# Installing as a service
+
+The systemd unit file `plex_monitor.service` should suffice as a functional service for most use cases.
+
+Simply copy the file to `/etc/systemd/system/` and, after, updating the binary and config file locations for `ExecStart`, start the service.
+
+Service logs will be written to `/var/log/plex_monitor.log`.
+
+Manage the service with typical `systemctl` commands.
+
+```
