# Quick Run
# Quick Run
To quickly start a TDengine server after building, run the command below in terminal:
```cmd
```bash
./build/bin/taosd -ctest/cfg
```
In another terminal, use the TDengine shell to connect the server:
```
```bash
./build/bin/taos -ctest/cfg
```
option "-c test/cfg" specifies the system configuration file directory.
# Installing
After building successfully, TDengine can be installed by:
```cmd
```bash
make install
```
Users can find more information about directories installed on the system in the [directory and files](https://www.taosdata.com/en/documentation/administrator/#Directory-and-Files) section. It should be noted that installing from source code does not configure service management for TDengine.
