Next, we bootstrap the system. This will build our docker images, start key ones, and load the base configuration. This may take a while::
To start the software, just start the containers::
cd docker-compose
make bootstrap
If you do have access to LOFAR station hardware, you must upload its configuration to the configuration database. See :doc:`configure_station`.
