Setting Up Services

// Create bin folder
mkdir ~/bin
// Copy binary
cp selfchaind ~/bin/
// Change permission
chmod +x ~/bin/selfchaind
// add to path
export PATH="$PATH:/home/username/location_to_bin_folder"
// reload shell configuration
source ~/.bashrc
// test
./selfchaind version --long

If test was success, you can now create the services configuration file.
