# Running BotPump.fun

## Start

After the [installation ](/botpump.fun/getting-started/installation.md)and [configuration ](/botpump.fun/setup/config.md)has been done, all we have to do is run [BotPump.fun](https://www.botpump.fun/)!

In a terminal, go to the folder of bot, type and press Enter:

```bash
pnpm start
```

The program will start. Follow the printed instructions and other information.

Your bot is operating 🎉!

## Pause

You can pause the program while it is monitoring and executing transactions. Type <kbd>P</kbd> to pause and type <kbd>P</kbd> again to resume.

## Exit

You can exit the program at any time. In the terminal, press <kbd>CTRL + C</kbd> two times.

**⚠️ Note that this will terminate all ongoing procedures of the program without ending the entire flow.** This means that, for example, if one of the bots has made a purchase, it will not be sold as it would be at the end of the program execution. If the bot is preparing to make a purchase and the program ends beforehand, that purchase will not be made. Likewise, if the bot sent a purchase transaction just before the program ended, the transaction will still be processed.
