# Install from sources
## Instructions
Follow the [build instructions](../build.md) then:

1. Prepare files and directories:
```bash
# Create a dedicated user
useradd -r mxisd

# Create bin directory
mkdir /opt/mxisd

# Create config directory and set ownership
mkdir -p /etc/opt/mxisd
chown -R mxisd /etc/opt/mxisd

# Create data directory and set ownership
mkdir -p /var/opt/mxisd
chown -R mxisd /var/opt/mxisd

# Copy <repo root>/build/libs/mxisd.jar to bin directory
cp ./build/libs/mxisd.jar /opt/mxisd/
chown mxisd /opt/mxisd/mxisd.jar
chmod a+x /opt/mxisd/mxisd.jar

# Create symlink for easy exec
ln -s /opt/mxisd/mxisd.jar /usr/bin/mxisd
```
2. Copy the sample config file `./application.example.yaml` to `/etc/opt/mxisd/mxisd.yaml`, edit to your needs
3. Copy `src/systemd/mxisd.service` to `/etc/systemd/system/` and edit if needed
4. Enable service for auto-startup
```bash
systemctl enable mxisd
```
5. Start mxisd
