Running Mopidy

To start Mopidy, simply open a terminal and run::

    mopidy

When Mopidy says ``MPD server running at [127.0.0.1]:6600`` it's ready to
accept connections by any MPD client. Check out our non-exhaustive
:doc:`/clients/mpd` list to find recommended clients.

To stop Mopidy, press ``CTRL+C``.
