After the installation is complete, the Pentaho Server runs with the default parameters. Terminal windows might remain open after installation. If you close them, the Pentaho Server stops.

The User Console, Spoon, and other tools must be manually run. In the next step of these instructions there are links to documentation which explains how to start and stop servers manually.
