-title: Starting Ardour
----
-
-<p>
-  There are several ways of <dfn>starting Ardour</dfn>, which may vary
-  depending on which platform you are using it.
-</p>
-<ul>
-  <li>double-click the Ardour icon in your platform's file manager (e.g.
-  Nautilus on Linux, Finder on OS X)</li>
-  <li>double click on an Ardour session file in your platform's file manager</li>
-  <li>on Linux, you can also start Ardour on the command line (see below)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>
-  When Ardour is run for the very first time, a special dialog is displayed
-  that will ask you several questions about your setup. You will not be asked
-  these questions again, but you can always modify your choices via the
-  <kbd class="menu">Edit &gt; Preferences</kbd> dialog.
-</p>
-<p>
-  If you want to use JACK, in general, it is sensible to start it <em>before</em> you run Ardour. This is not
-  necessary, but will provide you with more control and options over JACK's operation.
-  You can start JACK through its <abbr title="Command Line Interface">CLI</abbr>, or using a <abbr title="Graphical User Interface">GUI</abbr>
-  program, like <a href="https://qjackctl.sourceforge.io/">QjackCtl</a> or <a href="http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Applications:Cadence">Cadence</a>.
-</p>
-<p>
-  If you open Ardour without specifying an existing session it will display
-  the <kbd class="menu">Session &gt; New...</kbd> dialog and the <kbd class="menu">Audio/MIDI Setup</kbd> dialog.
-  See <a href="/working-with-sessions/new-session-dialog/">New/Open Session Dialog</a> for a description of those dialogs.
-</p>

-<h2>Starting Ardour From the Command Line (Linux)</h2>
-
-<p>
-  Like (almost) any other program on Linux, Ardour can be started on the
-  command line. Type the following command in a terminal window:
-</p>
-<kbd class="cmd lin">Ardour5</kbd>
-<p>
-  To start Ardour with an existing session:
-</p>
-<kbd class="cmd lin">Ardour5 <em>/path/to/session</em></kbd>
-<p>
-  replacing /path/to/session with the actual path to your session. You can
-  specify either the session folder or any session file inside the folder,
-  including snapshots.
-</p>
-<p>
-  To start Ardour with a new, named session:
-</p>
-<kbd class="cmd lin">Ardour5 -N <em>/path/to/session</em></kbd>
