Description

I tried to run keybase on my raspberry pi 4 according to the instructions here: https://github.com/keybase/client/blob/master/go/README.md#building

But I kept getting errors. With some hunting around and googles I was able to determine the problem was that I didn't have a keybase.service file for systemd. After copying the file from $GOPATH/src/github.com/keybase/client/packaging/linux/systemd/keybase.service to /etc/systemd/user I successfully enabled it with
systemctl --user enable keybase.service and then started it systemctl --user start keybase.service and everything seems to be working now.

So just reporting that, in case it helps anyone in the future.
