# Starting and Exiting Lustre

To start Lustre, use any of the standard methods for opening an application in Windows or Linux.

To start Lustre:

1. Start the application by double-clicking the desktop icon, or by doing one of the following:
   - If using the Windows version of Lustre, select Start | Programs | Autodesk | lustre from the Windows task bar.
   - If using the Linux version of Lustre, it is recommended to log into the Lustre environment. If you open a Linux shell, it will automatically place you in the Lustre directory:

     /usr/Autodesk/<lustre version>/

     Next, start Lustre. Type:

     ./lustre to start the Lustre application.

   Lustre starts with all the settings you used when you last exited. For example, it loads the project, cut, and grade you were working with and places the positioner on the frame you were on.

NoteIf Lustre cannot find a license, the Flex LM® wizard appears, requesting the location of the license file.

To exit Lustre:

1. In the Main menu, click Setup.
2. Click Exit and confirm.

TipYou can also exit the application by pressing SHIFT + Insert.
