# Installing the DECTalk TTS Server as a system service
These steps install the server as a systemd service that starts on boot and
restarts automatically if it crashes. Commands that need root are shown with
`sudo`; run them in your own terminal.
## 1. Install prerequisites
```bash
sudo apt install ffmpeg nodejs npm
```
## 2. Install node dependencies
```bash
cd /home/owen/dectalk-tts-server
npm install
```
## 3. Install the systemd unit
```bash
sudo cp /home/owen/dectalk-tts-server/dectalk-tts-server.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now dectalk-tts-server
```
## 4. Verify
```bash
systemctl status dectalk-tts-server
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:33001/health
```
The health endpoint should return `{"status":"ok"}`.
## Managing the service
```bash
sudo systemctl restart dectalk-tts-server
sudo systemctl stop dectalk-tts-server
journalctl -u dectalk-tts-server -f
```
