Install from source

1. Install Java

2. Clone the signald repository:

   git clone https://gitlab.com/signald/signald.git
   

3. Build signald:

   cd signald
   make installDist
   

4. Configure the system directories:

   make setup
   

5. Start signald:

   build/install/signald/bin/signald
   

   It will continue running until killed (or Ctrl-C).

To make it start automatically at startup, systemd is typically used. A sample systemd service file may be found at src/main/resources/io/finn/signald/signald.service

Consider installing signaldctl.
