## Setup Wizard
To start the setup wizard, run `hyperglass setup` and you'll receive the following prompts:
### Installation Directory
```shell-session
[?] Choose a directory for hyperglass: /Users/ml/hyperglass
> /home/user/hyperglass
/etc/hyperglass
```
hyperglass requires a directory on your system to store configuration files, the web UI, logos, etc. You may choose between the current user's home directory or `/etc`.
### Configuration files
```shell-session
Do you want to install example configuration files? (This is non-destructive) [y/N]:
```
hyperglass can install example configuration files to your hyperglass installation directory to make it a little easier to get up and running.
### Systemd Service
```shell-session
Do you want to generate a systemd service file? [y/N]:
```
hyperglass also includes a [systemd](https://systemd.io/) service file, which can be installed if you use systemd. If selected, a systemd service file will be generated and copied to the installation directory. Then, it will be symlinked to `/etc/systemd/system`. All you need to do to enable the service is run:
```shell-session
$ sudo systemctl enable hyperglass
```
## UI Build
hyperglass is build with [NextJS](https://nextjs.org/), a [React](https://reactjs.org/)-based UI framework that supports server-side rendering and static exporting, which contribute to hyperglass's speed and SEO-friendliness. At startup, hyperglass creates a new "UI build", which is a static export of the site and includes some elements of the <Link to="/docs/configuration">configuration</Link>.
It is recommended to run an initial UI build after running the setup wizard, so that you can verify that the installation is working prior to diving into configuration.
```shell-session
$ hyperglass build-ui
✅ Completed UI build in production mode
```
