== Running Cumulus ==
 
The simplest command to start Cumulus is <tt>cd CumulusMX && sudo mono CumulusMx.exe</tt>, but you may wish to add [[Cumulus_MX#Optional_parameters_to_add_to_the_instruction_to_run_the_MX_engine|Optional_parameters]].
 
Just in case it is not obvious .... if you start MX using this command either in a terminal window on your Pi, you must leave that session running for MX to continue to run.
 
You can start it off directly on your Pi, and then
*optionally disconnect the keyboard,
*switch off monitor or TV attached to your Pi,
*Just ensure you leave Pi on so that terminal session continues running.
 
(When these notes were written, there were topics in the support forum about ways to use scripts for starting/stopping MX that get around the above restriction. A future MX version is planned to provide a script allowing MX to be run as a service, that also overcomes the above restriction).
