Go to the app directory, for example

cd /data/streama

Create link a link to your installed version

This is useful when you update streama you can just update the link:

ln -s streama-[version].jar streama.jar

Create the systemctl service

nano /etc/systemd/system/streama.service

In this file add the below, if your streama isn't in /data/streama change them.

# end streama.service content

sudo systemctl enable streama.service
sudo systemctl start streama.service
