1. Use wget to get the azurefile-dockervolumedriver.default and azurefile-dockervolumedriver.service files from GitHub. These are in the ../contrib/init/systemd directory.
2. Download the binary from the "Releases" tab of the repo to /usr/bin/azurefile-dockervolumedriver
   • Use wget to download to dir: wget -qO/usr/bin/azurefile-dockervolumedriver https://github.com/Azure/azurefile-dockervolumedriver/releases/download/[VERSION]/azurefile-dockervolumedriver
   • Make it executable chmod +x /usr/bin/azurefile-dockervolumedriver
3. Save the .default file to /etc/default/azurefile-dockervolumedriver
4. Edit /etc/default/azurefile-dockervolumedriver with your Azure Storage Account credentials.
5. Save the .service file to /etc/systemd/system/azurefile-dockervolumedriver.service
   • [Ubuntu 15.x only] Make the requisite directories if they don't exist: mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system
6. Run systemctl daemon-reload
7. Run systemctl enable azurefile-dockervolumedriver
8. Run systemctl start azurefile-dockervolumedriver
9. Check status via systemctl status azurefile-dockervolumedriver

To test, try to create a volume and running a container with it:

docker volume create -d azurefile --name myvol -o share=myvol
docker run -i -t -v myvol:/data busybox
# cd /data
# touch a.txt

You can find the logs at journalctl -fu azurefile-dockervolumedriver.
