+## With systemd
+
+**Warning:** Experimental.
+
+If you're using Linux and your distribution supports
+[systemd](https://systemd.io/), you may be able to have Oasis automatically
+start in the background when you start your computer. This is good for SSB and
+makes it more likely that you'll download messages that you want.
+
+```shell
+bash contrib/install-systemd-service.bash
+```
+
+Follow the instructions to finish configuring the background service.
