.. code-block:: sh

   sudo systemctl daemon-reload                 # make systemd aware of gige-daemon  
   sudo systemctl enable gige-daemon.service    # start on every boot  
   sudo systemctl start gige-daemon.service     # start the actual daemon  
   sudo systemctl status gige-daemon.service    # check if statemd say everything is ok
