Running Mopidy
**************
To start Mopidy, simply open a terminal and run::
mopidy
For a complete reference to the Mopidy commands and their command line options,
see :ref:`mopidy-cmd`.
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.
Stopping Mopidy
===============
To stop Mopidy, press ``CTRL+C`` in the terminal where you started Mopidy.
Mopidy will also shut down properly if you send it the TERM signal, e.g. by
using ``pkill``::
pkill mopidy
