The init.d file should be saved as `/etc/init.d/radarr`

3.5) Set the init.d script as executable `sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/radarr`
### Make init.d script executable
`sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/radarr`
4) `sudo insserv -v radarr`
### Run insserv
`sudo insserv -v radarr`
Note: May need to run `sudo ln -s /usr/lib/insserv/insserv /sbin/insserv` first if insserv is not found.
5) `sudo /etc/init.d/radarr start`
## Start init.d script
`sudo /etc/init.d/radarr start`
Note: The script by default runs as root. I suggest adding an radarr user (`useradd -m -d /var/lib/radarr --gid nogroup radarr`) and adjusting the script so that RUNASUSER=radarr & RUNASGROUP=nogroup.
### Method 3: init.d script (Debian)###
Please see [here](https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/wiki/Autostart-on-Debian).
### Method 4: RC.Local
**Please Note: This is not the most elegant solution but it works**

This Guide is to help those who would like to use linux to run Radarr at time of writing this there is not "Install As Service" option like with the Windows Build so this needs to be done until a better alternative is found i have personally tested it so you should have no issues if you do please post in the Radarr Forums (https://forums.radarr.tv/) and someone will try and help you.
**First **
make sure Radarr is installed you can go here to find out how to do that https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/wiki/Installation
Next I created a .sh or batch file to automate the process of type "sudo mono /opt/Radarr/Radarr.exe"
Here is a link to the batch file so it saves you all from having to do this even though it was easy if you open in a text editor you will see
**Batch File:** (Just Hit Download to grab it)

Next there are two ways of doing this
**Method One:**
is using rc.local you do this by opening a terminal windows and typing (without quotes) "sudo nano /etc/rc.local" (or if easier you can use a text editor like gedit, pluma, leafpad whatever you have just replace the nano part with what you want
Once this is open go to the bottom and just above where it says "exit 0" type the following for eg.
/bin/sh /home/server/Desktop/Radarr.sh
mine was saved to my desktop on my linux machine you will need to edit this to wherever you put the Radarr.sh file you downloaded above but remember to keep the /bin/sh first then a space then the rest
**Method Two:** (With Screenshots)
Go to your menu and find the application to set startup items this may be called many things mine was called Session And Startup

Once this is open i went to Application AutoStart there i clicked on the add button

Next i added the following which you will notice is the same as the one in Method One "/bin/sh /home/server/Desktop/Radarr.sh"
http://i.imgur.com/8gokS5j.png
after that i gave it a name and then pressed "Ok" and then "Close" i then did a reboot of the system
on reboot i did notice it took a couple more seconds to login this is because this is setting that command to run at login but once logged in i opened my browser and went to http://localhost:8989 and voila it started
I cannot guarantee this will work but it seems to be working for me i am Linux newbie and this took me a while to figure out so hopefully by posting here it will help someone else avoid the trouble i went through
