Note that you ''may'' need to supply your root password after typing any 'sudo ...' command line if the instruction changes something set by another package (e.g. changing the locale for MX from the locale set by mono). The system will prompt you for this if it is needed.

When Cumulus starts, it will display the URL of the user interface. It runs on port 8998 by default; if this is not suitable for some reason you can over-ride it using the '-port' parameter on the command line, e.g. to use port 9999 instead:
<pre>sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -port 9999</pre>
===
On Linux and (in particular) OS X, Cumulus MX may not be given the correct locale to use, and you may get the default US locale even if that is not your locale. It will output the local it is using when it starts; if it is not correct, close it down and start it again, this time specifying your locale on the command line, using the -lang parameter . For example, in the UK, on a non-Windows device type:
# (to verify) note this does not allow you to add -port, -debug, -locale parameters
===
MX has a default level of logging that stores in the [[MXdiags_folder]] folder a log file that shows some of the interaction with the weather station and some of the output actions done as MX runs. A new log is started each time MX is restarted.
The following two parameters cannot be used with MX since it came out of 3.0.0 beta.
==== -wsport parameter for web sockets ====
Beta builds in MX version 3.0.0 had an optional parameter <code>sudo mono EXISTING PATH/CumulusMX/CumulusMX.exe -wsport nnnn</code> that determined which port (represented by a 4 digit number ''nnnn'') was used for '''Web Sockets'''.
That parameter [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17887&p=138815&hilit=sockets#p138815 is now deprecated as Web Sockets in all builds since 3045] use the same port for web sockets as for the HTTP port of the [[MX_Administrative_Interface#The_API_interface|Admin Interface]], see -port parameter described earlier.
====
Use '''sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -Logging=1''' (for the station to MX transfers to have increased debugging logging).
