This is more of a template file for packagers to use. How you use it with unpackaged Suricata is going to depend on your distribution. In short, it could be as simple as:

cp suricata.service /etc/systemd/system/suricata.service


systemctl enable --now suricata

make sure the paths line up with how you installed Suricata. We try to get them right based on ./configure.
