You already tried the Zettelstore software and now you want to use it permanently. Zettelstore should start automatically when you log into your computer.
Grab the appropriate executable and copy it into the appropriate directory
If you want to place your zettel into another directory, or if you want more than one Zettelstore box, or if you want to enable authentication, or if you want to tweak your Zettelstore in some other way, create an appropriate startup configuration file.
If you created a startup configuration file, you need to test it:
Start a command line prompt for your operating system.
Navigate to the directory, where you placed the Zettelstore executable. In most cases, this is done by the command cd DIR, where DIR denotes the directory, where you placed the executable.
Start the Zettelstore:
On Windows execute the command zettelstore.exe run -c CONFIG_FILE
On macOS execute the command ./zettelstore run -c CONFIG_FILE
On Linux execute the command ./zettelstore run -c CONFIG_FILE
In all cases CONFIG_FILE must be substituted by file name where you wrote the startup configuration.
If you encounter some error messages, update the startup configuration, and try again.
Depending on your operating system, there are different ways to register Zettelstore to start automatically:
Windows
macOS
Linux
