see the [[Startup Overview]].
===Starting the Server===
*Navigate to the location of basex.jar (<code>> cd /basex</code>).
*You can either start the server in interaction mode if you add the -i flag. This allows you to further interact with the server during runtime (add databases or users, ...).
<code>
:> java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXServer -i
</code>
:Or the server can be started alternatively without the -i flag. Note, that you have to restart the server to execute further commands from this shell.
<code>
: > java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXServer
</code>
*A default admin user is created (you can change the password with the [[Commands|PASSWORD]] command):
:Username: admin
:Password: admin
*Once the server has successfully started you see the following lines:
<pre>
BaseXServer [Server]
Server was started.
</pre>
===Starting the Client===
*Open a new terminal window, make sure you are in the right directory (/basex).
*Execute the following to start the client:
<code>
:> java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXClient
</code>
*If you haven't changed the password with the server, you can login as default user (admin/admin).
