systemd folder cannot be found, is it okay to just make one??

[mrchow19910319]

I am trying to set up imwheel on my machine as a service, inside archwiki, it said create a system service using systemd. 

~/.config/systemd/user/imwheel.service

But inside my config folder does not have a systemd folder. I used this to check its version and here is the output.

systemctl --version

systemd 249 (249.11-0ubuntu3.6)
+PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +APPARMOR +IMA +SMACK +SECCOMP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +OPENSSL +ACL +BLKID +CURL +ELFUTILS +FIDO2 +IDN2 -IDN +IPTC +KMOD +LIBCRYPTSETUP +LIBFDISK +PCRE2 -PWQUALITY -P11KIT -QRENCODE +BZIP2 +LZ4 +XZ +ZLIB +ZSTD -XKBCOMMON +UTMP +SYSVINIT default-hierarchy=unified

so it means that my system does come with systemd right? 

 

So my question is, is it okay for me to just create a systemd folder and add some services to it????

You can just create the directory

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user

You can also do

systemctl edit --force --full --user imwheel.service

 

 

Just don't forget the user flag when enabling the unit file.

systemctl enable --user imwheel.service

Mention user flag
