# Run BlurIt OP

## Choice 1 : use our start script (recommended)

This script will help you start Blurit On-Premise and can be reused if you change some variables in the .env file. We recommend using the script, but you can also follow the manual instructions.

To start the script, execute the following command. If Blurit OP is installed on Windows, please ensure that you are in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) environment by typing `wsl` inside the Command Prompt or PowerShell.

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```bash
sudo ./start.sh
```

{% endcode %}

## Choice 2 : manual start

Run the following command:

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```sh
docker stack deploy -c <(docker-compose -f blurit_stack.yml config) blurit
```

{% endcode %}

The API will be accessible on the specified port within a few seconds. Please visit `http://<SERVER_IP>:<NGINX_PORT>/account` to access the frontend interface and complete your installation, where `<NGINX_PORT>` is the port specified in the `.env` file (default is `8084`).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc-op.blurit.io/0.3.10/blurit-on-premise/installation/run-blurit-op.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
