# Systemd Unit
If you are using distribution packages or the copr repository, you don't need to deal with these files!
The unit files (`*.service` and `*.socket`) in this directory are to be put into `/etc/systemd/system`.
It needs a user named `node_exporter`, whose shell should be `/sbin/nologin` and should not have any special privileges.
It needs a sysconfig file in `/etc/sysconfig/node_exporter`.
It needs a directory named `/var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector`, whose owner should be `node_exporter`:`node_exporter`.
A sample file can be found in `sysconfig.node_exporter`.
