## Setup Wizard
To start the setup wizard, run `hyperglass setup`.
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`.
### 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
After running the setup, the `build-ui` command needs to be run for the first time. This command creates the required file structure for the UI, initializes frontend dependencies, and generates favicons.
:::note
If your system's compute resources are too low, the `build-ui` step will likely fail. See the [system requirements](production.mdx) section for more information.
:::
```shell-session
$ hyperglass build-ui
✅ Completed UI build in development mode
```
## Startup
To start hyperglass at the console run `hyperglass start`.
:::important
hyperglass won't start without a `devices.yaml` file. See the [Adding Devices](adding-devices.mdx) section for instructions on how add devices.
:::
```shell-session
$ hyperglass start
```
