There are two ways of starting up Fisheye:

• Via Windows service / Linux service (either manually or automatically on boot time)
• By manually running the startup binary file found inside the installation directory instead.

To start Fisheye manually without using the Fisheye Windows / Linux service at all, perform the steps below:

1. Open a new Command Prompt (Windows) / Terminal (Linux / MacOS) window
2. Navigate to <Fisheye installation directory>\bin directory
3. Execute one of the commands below and wait for the instance to start:
   1. Windows Usage:
      - To start Fisheye in the foreground (locking the Command Prompt window): <Fisheye installation directory>\bin\run.bat 
      - To start Fisheye in the background (without locking the Command Prompt window): <Fisheye installation directory>\bin\start.bat 
   2. Linux / MacOS Usage:
      - To start Fisheye in the foreground (locking the Terminal window): <Fisheye installation directory>\bin\run.sh 
      - To start Fisheye in the background (without locking the Terminal window): <Fisheye installation directory>\bin\start.sh
