# How to create launchd services for macOS
The following launchd script uses a separate user deluge, this is optional
but recommended for security. To create a new deluge user follow the
[Apple help] steps.
The paths to `deluged` and `deluge-web` assumes installation using [Homebrew]
and will need modified if using other installation methods e.g. `Deluge.app`.
## Daemon (deluged) service
Create the file `/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.deluge-torrent.deluged.plist`
containing the following:
```eval_rst
.. literalinclude:: ../../../packaging/osx/launchd/org.deluge-torrent.deluged.plist
:language: xml
```
Set the service to load on startup and then start it:
```console
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.deluge-torrent.deluged.plist
sudo launchctl start org.deluge-torrent.deluged
```
## Web UI (deluge-web) service
Create the file `/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.deluge-torrent.deluge-web.plist`
containing the following:
```eval_rst
.. literalinclude:: ../../../packaging/osx/launchd/org.deluge-torrent.deluge-web.plist
:language: xml
```
Set the service to load on startup and then start it:
```console
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.deluge-torrent.deluge-web.plist
sudo launchctl start org.deluge-torrent.deluge-web
```
## Logging
Logging is enabled by default in the above script, error level, and can be
modified as required.
