# Start the server

After defining your configuration settings, start OpenText Software Delivery Management.

OS | Command
--- | ---
Linux | Log in as the root user. Run: `systemctl start octane` To follow the server's boot process, run: `tail -f /opt/octane/log/wrapper.log`
Windows | Select Start > OpenText Software Delivery Management > Start OpenText Software Delivery Management Server. Alternatively, start the OpenText Software Delivery Management service.

### Verify installation

The installation is complete only when the "Server is ready!" message is shown in the wrapper log file.

OS | Path
--- | ---
Linux | /opt/octane/log/wrapper.log
Windows | C:\Program Files\octane\log\wrapper.log

If you do not see this message, correct the errors shown in the log.
