+### [systemd](systemd) directory ###
+
+This directory contains systemd configuration files for the daemon.
+
+You can install the daemon under systemd using the following commands:
+
+      sudo useradd -M -l aes67-daemon -c "AES67 Linux daemon"
+      sudo cp daemon/aes67-daemon /usr/local/bin/aes67-daemon
+      sudo cp daemon/daemon.conf /etc
+      sudo cp systemd/aes67-daemon.service /etc/systemd/system
+      sudo systemctl enable aes67-daemon
+      systemctl daemon-reexec
+
+To start the daemon use:
+
+     sudo systemctl start aes67-daemon
+
+To stop it use:
+
+     sudo systemctl stop aes67-daemon
+
+
+The daemon requires the RAVENNA module to be loaded.
+
+You can install the module on Ubuntu distro using the following commands:
+
+    cd 3rdparty/ravenna-alsa-lkm/driver
+    sudo make modules_install
+
+If this doesn't work because you miss kernel certificate follow the instructions at: [No OpenSSL sign-file signing_key.pem](https://superuser.com/questions/1214116/no-openssl-sign-file-signing-key-pem-leads-to-error-while-loading-kernel-modules)
+
+
+Finally use the command to probe the modules:
+
+    sudo depmod -a
+
+
 ### [test](test) directory ###
 
 This directory contains the files used to run the daemon platform compatibility test on the network loopback interface. The [test](#test) is described below.
