-# Setup Synapse with Systemd
-This is a setup for managing synapse with a user contributed systemd unit 
-file. It provides a `matrix-synapse` systemd unit file that should be tailored 
-to accommodate your installation in accordance with the installation 
-instructions provided in [installation instructions](../../INSTALL.md).
-
-## Setup
-1. Under the service section, ensure the `User` variable matches which user
-you installed synapse under and wish to run it as. 
-2. Under the service section, ensure the `WorkingDirectory` variable matches
-where you have installed synapse.
-3. Under the service section, ensure the `ExecStart` variable matches the
-appropriate locations of your installation.
-4. Copy the `matrix-synapse.service` to `/etc/systemd/system/`
-5. Start Synapse: `sudo systemctl start matrix-synapse`
-6. Verify Synapse is running: `sudo systemctl status matrix-synapse`
-7. *optional* Enable Synapse to start at system boot: `sudo systemctl enable matrix-synapse`
