Once it is installed, you shall check the version of Supervisor which you have just installed. 

[root@linuxhelp ~]# supervisord -version
3.3.3

Later, you need to copy the configuration file from echo_supervisord_conf   to /etc/ supervisord.conf, and for that purpose, you shall run the following command. 

[root@linuxhelp ~]# echo_supervisord_conf  >  /etc/supervisord.conf

You should now create a new file in systemd location for daemon configuration. Do that through the vim editor as follows. 

[root@linuxhelp ~]# vim /usr/lib/systemd/system/supervisord.service

In that file, you need to add the following lines.

[Unit]

 ExecReload=/usr/bin/supervisorctl reload                            
 ExecStop=/usr/bin/supervisorctl shutdown

 WantedBy=multi-user.target

After the configuration, you need to reload the    daemon as follows. 

[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl daemon-reload

And then, enable supervisor with the help of the following command. 

[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl enable supervisord
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/supervisord.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/supervisord.service.

Later, you should start supervisor sevice, and for that you need to run the following command. 

[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl start supervisord.service

You shall now check the status for supervisor.

[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl status supervisord.service
