 You can now take your browser and go to:
 <code> http://localhost:<port number> </code>
+NB: When downloading new versions, you might need to rename the java file.
+===== Adding Graphivac as a Service =====
+You might want to make sure the Graphivac server always starts as soon as the server boots, or that it restores itself in case of a crash.
+For this, you'll have to add Graphivac as a service.
+Start by creating a file named "**graphivac.conf**".
+Open it and paste the following:
+<code bash graphivac.conf>
+description "Graphivac Server"
+author "Christian Fortin, HVAC.IO"
+start on runlevel [2345]
+stop on runlevel [!2345]
+#Respawn the process if it crashes
+#If it respawns more than 10 times in 60 seconds stop
+respawn
+respawn limit 10 60
+expect fork
+#replace PATH-TO-THE-JAR with something like /home/hvacio/graphivac
+#replace PORT with the desired port number
+script
+    cd PATH-TO-THE-JAR
+    java -jar graphivac-server.jar PORT &
+end script
+</code>
+Now, once you replaced PATH-TO-THE-JAR and PORT with their correct values, move the file to /etc/init:
+<code>
+sudo mv graphivac.conf /etc/init/graphivac.conf
+</code>
+That's it!
+Now reboot and Graphivac should start automatically.
