## Besu launcher

Use the Besu launcher to interactively configure and start a node with the most common options. The
launcher asks a series of questions and generates a [configuration file](../how-to/configuration-file.md).

To run the Besu launcher:

```bash
besu --Xlauncher
```

Answer each question, or press ++Enter++ to accept the default value.

```bash
? Which Ethereum network would you like to use ? goerli
? Which synchronization mode? fast
? Do you want to enable pruning? no
? What is the data directory ? /Users/me/besu
? Do you want to enable the JSON-RPC HTTP service ? yes
? Do you want to configure the JSON-RPC options now ? yes
? What is the JSON RPC HTTP host address ? 127.0.0.1
? What is the JSON RPC HTTP port ? 8545
? Select the list of APIs to enable on JSON-RPC HTTP service [eth, net, web3]
? Do you want to enable the JSON-RPC Websocket service ? no
? Do you want to enable GraphQL functionality ? no
? Do you want to use Ethstats ? no
? Do you want to enable NAT ? no
? Do you want to enable mining ? no
```

If a configuration file is already present in the directory where the command is executed,
Besu will start and use the values in the configuration file. To force the launcher to interact
during a restart, use the `--Xlauncher-force` option, or delete the configuration
file.
