Greetd may then be enabled by linking it to `/var/service`. However, the best practice is to first test `greetd`. Since, with a non-functioning `greetd`, it may not be possible anymore to log into the system.
The best practice is thus to create a down file in the `greetd` service.
```
# touch /etc/sv/greetd/down
```
And then linking and enabling `greetd`.
```
# ln -s /etc/sv/greetd /var/service
# sv up greetd
```
If `greetd` functions properly the down file may be removed.
