+# Start-up
+
+## Start-up based on systemd user service
+
+For **Linux** distro, XDS agent can be started as a user service by Systemd.
+
+```bash
+/usr/lib/systemd/user/xds-agent.service
+```
+
+Use well-known systemd commands to control `xds-agent.service` service.
+
+```bash
+# Status XDS agent:
+systemctl --user status xds-agent
+
+# Start XDS agent
+systemctl --user start xds-agent
+
+# Stop XDS agent
+systemctl --user stop xds-agent
+```
+
+Default settings are defined in `/etc/default/xds-agent` file but these
+settings you can overwritten by `$HOME/.xds/agent/agent-config.json` file,
+see [Configuration chapter](./2_config.html) for more details.
+
+## Manual start-up
+
+On **Linux or MacOS**, simply execute `xds-agent` executable:
+
+```bash
+/opt/AGL/bin/xds-agent
+```
+
+On **Windows**, simply execute `xds-agent` executable (root path may change
+depending where you installed/unzipped xds-agent tarball):
+
+```batch
+C:\AGL\bin\xds-agent.exe
+```
+
+<!-- section-note -->
