(When these notes were written, there were topics in the support forum about ways to use scripts for starting/stopping MX, but the distribution did not include any such controlling scripts. The latest MX version includes a script allowing MX to be run as a service, and perhaps someone would be kind enough to expand the first sub-section). | |||

Whichever operating system you are using, to run MX requires an instruction that changes to the directory where it is installed (the instruction below is assuming it is in the standard Pi user home directory, the change directory command will be different if you have installed it elsewhere), and then starting the executable (using mono in the instruction below that applies to any non-Windows operating system). You may wish to add [[Cumulus_MX#Optional_parameters_to_add_to_the_instruction_to_run_the_MX_engine|Optional_parameters]]. | |||
The simplest instruction to run Cumulus MX is <tt>cd CumulusMX && sudo mono CumulusMx.exe</tt>. Just in case it is not obvious .... if you start MX using this command in a terminal window on your Pi, you must leave that session running, then MX will continue to run. | |||
