## Running Open MCT
Once the [`openmct`](@link module:openmct) module has been loaded, you can
simply invoke [`start`]{@link module:openmct.MCT#start} to run Open MCT:
```
openmct.start();
```
Generally, however, you will want to configure Open MCT by adding plugins
before starting it. It is important to install plugins and configure Open MCT
_before_ calling [`start`]{@link module:openmct.MCT#start}; Open MCT is not
designed to be reconfigured once started.
## Configuring Open MCT
The [`openmct`]{@link module:openmct} module (more specifically, the
[`MCT`](@link module:openmct.MCT} class, of which `openmct` is an instance)
exposes a variety of methods to allow the application to be configured,
extended, and customized before running.
