+## Path must point at the nano-pow package in the global npm installation
+## directory. This is usually defined as the `npm_config_prefix` directory and
+## can be discovered using `npm -g prefix`. Append "/lib/node_modules/nano-pow"
+## to this path; if it's in your home directory, replace that with "%h". A full
+## example is as follows:
+##
+WorkingDirectory=%h/.local/lib/node_modules/nano-pow
