LaunchDaemons are the correct way to create services that are restart proof. There is now only a single destination place mentioned in the readme for the plist file. Signed-off-by: Dávid Balakirev <dave00ster@gmail.com>

If you're installing through a package manager, you probably don't need to deal with this file.
The plist file should be put in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ (user defined daemons), and the binary installed at
/usr/local/bin/node_exporter.
Ex. install globally by
sudo cp -n node_exporter /usr/local/bin/
sudo cp -n examples/launchctl/io.prometheus.node_exporter.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/
sudo launchctl bootstrap system/ /Library/LaunchDaemons/io.prometheus.node_exporter.plist
# Optionally configure by dropping CLI arguments in a file
echo -- '--web.listen-address=:9101' | sudo tee /usr/local/etc/node_exporter.args
# Check it's running
sudo launchctl list | grep node_exporter
# See full process state
sudo launchctl print system/io.prometheus.node_exporter
# View logs
sudo tail /tmp/node_exporter.log
