If you want to run commands that changes the effective userid (e.g. with sudo) and you run myMPD with the default systemd service unit, you must create the mympd user manually and add an override.

groupadd -r mympd
useradd -r -g mympd -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/mympd mympd

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jcorporation/myMPD/v10.0.0/contrib/initscripts/mympd.service.in | sed 's|@CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_BINDIR@|/usr/bin|' /etc/systemd/system/mympd.service

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart mympd
