# Starting Seirios

1. After restarting the PC/machine, **Seirios** will automatically start every time the machine powers up.
2. To start Seirios manually, open a Terminal and enter your workspace by running the command `cd ~/catkin_ws/movel_ai`
3. Run `docker-compose up` to start the docker containers for **Seirios** (output will be shown in the terminal)\
   Run `docker-compose up -d` to start **Seirios** in the background (no output will be shown in the terminal)
4. To stop **Seirios**, go into the terminal where **Seirios** is currently running, and use **Ctrl+C** *(if you run by using docker-compose up)* OR run `docker-compose down` in another terminal with the same directory. This will lead to the Docker containers being stopped.
5. To check for docker containers running at any point of time, run `docker ps`. \
   If Seirios is up and running, you should expect to see the different containers of **Seirios** components being displayed. Otherwise, it should yield an empty table.\
   You can also check the version of **Seirios** by using `docker ps`.
