Can't find rc.local in RuneAudio setup

thva

I try to install ATXRASPI on my Raspberry Pi 2 and RuneAudio. ATX RSAPI is a Power on/off hardware/software for Raspberry PI.
Here is a link to ATXRASPI installation: https://lowpowerlab.com/atxraspi/#installation
In the installation setup the system look for the file rc.local but it could not find it.
My question is if you can help me to say where that file is located

Hi Thomas,

RuneAudio is based on Arch Linux.
Arch Linux uses systemd to start services, so /etc/rc.local doesn't exist.

To fix that, just edit the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service:

[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local Compatibility
ConditionPathExists=/etc/rc.local

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/etc/rc.local start
TimeoutSec=0
StandardOutput=tty
RemainAfterExit=yes
SysVStartPriority=99

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Create the /etc/rc.local script and make it executable with

chmod +x /etc/rc.local

After that you have to enable this service:

systemctl enable rc-local.service

Hello

First thank you for your support. My Linux knowledge is = 0

Do you mean create the file /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service because that file does not exist in /etc/systemd/system/

Do I also need to create the file /etc/rc.local ?

In the post HW Shutdown/Reboot Switch you have a different solution
Is your answer in my post the best one or is it HW Shutdown/Reboot Switch

There is no best way, so it doesn't matter.
