+# Run service with systemctl
+
+
+
+Short guide to run bitcore-node as a service. This guide will get updated once we have the service running with PM2.
+
+#### Create bitcore-node service with systemctl
+
+1. Copy your service file into the /etc/systemd/system folder.
+
+```text
+[Unit]
+Description=Bitcore-node
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+ExecStart=/home/ubuntu/btcp-explorer/start-service.sh
+WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/btcp-explorer/
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+
+#/home/ubuntu/btcp-explorer/node_modules/bitcore-node-btcp/bin/bitcore-node start
+```
+
+1. a Create a new start-service.sh in the /home/ubuntu/btcp-explorer/ folder
+
+```text
+#!/bin/bash
+sudo /usr/local/bin/node /home/ubuntu/btcp-explorer/node_modules/bitcore-node-btcp/bin/bitcore-node start
+```
+
+1. b Give start-service.sh executable permissions.
+
+   ```text
+   chmod +x start-service.sh
+   ```
+
+2. Create system link for the .zcash-params & btcp-exploer folder the ubuntu directory to the /root directory as the script is currently outdated and looks for them in the incorrect directory
+
+   ```text
+   sudo ln -s /home/ubuntu/.zcash-params/ /root/.zcash-params/
+   sudo ln -s /home/ubuntu/btcp-explorer /root/btcp-explorer
+   ```
+
+Done. You can now use the following commands:
+
+**Start the service**
+
+```text
+sudo systemctl start bitcore-node
+```
+
+**Stop Service**
+
+```text
+sudo systemctl stop bitcore-node
+```
+
+**See the console log**
+
+```text
+journalctl -u bitcore-node
+```

+# Starting the Server
+
+Once your server is installed you are ready to run it. In this example we will run it from bash. In the next chapters we will show you how to run the server behind a service manager such as PM2. 
+
+## Start Server
+
+```text
+cd ~/btcp-explorer
+./bitcore-node start
+```
+
+{% hint style="info" %}
+In digital ocean you might need to create a system link for node
+
+ ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
+{% endhint %}
