To run on the system bus you need to take some additional steps.
It’s advisable to run signal-cli as a separate unix user, the following steps assume you created a user named *signal-cli*.
To run a service on the system bus, a config file is needed to allow the signal-cli user to take a name on the system bus. An example config file can be found in `data/org.asamk.Signal.conf`. This file also configures that any user can talk with the signal-cli daemon.
The `data/org.asamk.Signal.service` and `data/signal.service` files configure a dbus activated systemd service for signal-cli, so the service is automatically started when the dbus service is requested.
The `data/org.asamk.Signal.service` and `data/signal-cli.service` files configure a dbus activated systemd service for signal-cli, so the service is automatically started when the dbus service is requested.
These steps, executed as root, should work on all distributions using systemd.
```bash
cp data/org.asamk.Signal.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/
cp data/org.asamk.Signal.service /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/
cp data/signal.service /etc/systemd/system/
sed -i -e "s|%dir%|<INSERT_INSTALL_PATH>|" -e "s|%number%|<INSERT_YOUR_NUMBER>|" /etc/systemd/system/signal.service
cp data/signal-cli.service /etc/systemd/system/
sed -i -e "s|%dir%|<INSERT_INSTALL_PATH>|" /etc/systemd/system/signal-cli.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable signal.service
systemctl enable signal-cli.service
systemctl reload dbus.service
```
Mind the fact that signal.service executes the signal-cli with "--config /var/lib/signal-cli".
Mind the fact that signal-cli.service executes the signal-cli with "--config /var/lib/signal-cli".
If you registered with user signal-cli, remove the config option.
Make sure to use "--dbus-system" with the send command, the service will be autostarted by dbus the first time it is requested.
