Launch Alignak-App¶

On Linux¶

Once you have configured your application, just type the following in a terminal:

$HOME/.local/alignak_app/alignak-app start

Alignak-app will start, but will also create a command for later. Thereafter, you will only have to type the following command to launch your application:

alignak-app start

Here is the available commands:

alignak-app {start|stop|status|restart}

On Windows¶

With Installer¶

Just launch Alignak-app vX.x shorcut on your desktop or run the alignak-app.exe located in C:\Program Files\Alignak-app\.

From command line¶

If you install from sources or with pip, you just have to launch the alignak-app.py in bin folder:

python c:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Python\alignak_app\bin\alignak-app.py

Obviously, it requires to keep an open command prompt on Windows.

Solve Problems¶

If you’re having trouble getting started and running the app, here are some things to check:

Be sure you have correctly set your configuration file (see above) and that you can join your backend.
The application generates a log file in its root folder (see Alignak-app Main Folder). Search for ERROR messages.
If you have installed Alignak-app with pip, be sure to add the flag –user (see Install Alignak-app).
