Same issue here. No updates for this to work in 16.04? :)

Version 16.04 of ubuntu uses systemd and no longer upstart (used by forever-service). In order for the service to be installed correctly, you must install upstart-sysv:

# apt install upstart-sysv
# update-initframfs -u
# reboot

  After reboot, run the service install command:
  # forever-service install myservice --script service.js --start

  The service is installed, but it will not start with the system. To make this happen you should edit the /etc/init.d/rc.local file:
 
  # vi /etc/init.d/rc.local

  Before the rows of functions add the line:

start myservice

Hope this helps ^^!
