# Installing the Talend Runtime service on systemd-based Linux systems

Available in...

* Cloud API Services Platform
* Cloud Data Fabric

## Before you begin

In the following procedure:

* TALEND-CONTAINER is the name that was used for the -n <Service Name> option in the wrapper:install command.
* <TalendRuntimePath> is the Talend Runtime installation directory.

All the following commands must be executed with super-user privileges.

## Procedure

1. Install the service and enable it at system boot:
   ```
   systemctl enable <TalendRuntimePath>/bin/TALEND-CONTAINER.service
   ```

   Troubleshooting:

   If the systemctl enable command fails with the error Failed to enable unit: Cannot alias ..., follow these steps:
   1. Open the [TALEND\_RUNTIME\_PATH]/bin/TALEND-CONTAINER.service file in a text editor.
   2. Locate the line starting with Alias= and delete it.
   3. Save the changes.
   4. Execute the systemctl daemon-reload command.

   After completing these steps, the systemctl enable command should work as expected.
2. Start the service:

   systemctl start TALEND-CONTAINER

   To ensure the systemd service starts correctly, stop any Talend Runtime container that was previously launched using the trun command. Otherwise, systemd may attempt to start a second instance of Talend Runtime, which will fail because the TCP/IP ports are already in use.

## Results

The service is installed and started.

You can use the following commands to manage the service:

* To stop the service: systemctl stop TALEND-CONTAINER
* To check the current service status: systemctl status TALEND-CONTAINER
* To see service activity journal: journalctl -u TALEND-CONTAINER
* To uninstall the service and disable it at system boot: systemctl disable TALEND-CONTAINER
