Running

Go into the ./utils directory and run these commands:

# 1. generate the ``metadata.yaml`` file
./prepare_environment.py prepare_environment.conf --generate-yaml > metadata.yaml

# 2. generate a shell script, called  ``prepare_environment.sh``
# , based on the content of the ``metadata.yaml`` file.
./prepare_environment.py prepare_environment.conf > prepare_environment.sh

# 3. run the ``prepare_environment.sh`` script as root.
chmod +x ./prepare_environment.sh
./prepare_environment.sh

Services and timers

Once everyting is installed you can run the usual systemd commands such as:

systemctl list-timers
systemctl status ${service_or_timer}
systemctl start ${service_or_timer}
systemctl stop ${service_or_timer}
systemctl enable ${service_or_timer}
systemctl disable ${service_or_timer}
systemctl daemon-reload

with ${service_or_timer} being the service or timer unit file names reported between the YAML sections in the scripts page.
