I am trying to follow [this tutorial](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-uwsgi-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04) to setup [`uWSGI`](http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) with [`Django`](https://www.djangoproject.com/) and [`nginx`](https://www.nginx.com/) on [`Ubuntu`**`16.04`**](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes).

It all works fine up until the very last step (oh the irony...) where I try to execute this command:

```
sudo service uwsgi start

```

If fails with the following error:

> 
> Failed to start uwsgi.service: Unit uwsgi.service not found.
> 
> 
> 

Others seem to get a similar error:

> 
> Failed to start uwsgi.service: Unit uwsgi.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
> 
> 
> 

The issue appears to be related to the version of Ubuntu. While that tutorial is aimed at Ubuntu 14.04, it seems it will not work for newer versions because [in version 15 Ubuntu switched from the `upstart` init daemon to the `systemd` init daemon](http://www.pcworld.com/article/2895517/ubuntu-just-switched-to-systemd-the-project-sparking-controversy-throughout-linux.html).

**How can I use `systemd` to launch uWSGI so that it works with nginx and Django?**
