    create service file and start node

    Create service file Create a initiad.service file in the /etc/systemd/system folder with the following code. You can change USER with your Linux user name. You need sudo previlege to do this step.

    sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/initiad.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=initia
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which initiad) start
