# Starting, quitting, and configuring IRIS

This section describes how to start and quit an IRIS session, and how to customise some of the IRIS configuration options.

The most common way of starting an IRIS session (after you have installed the IRIS files on your disk) is to run the following line in the Matlab command window:

    addpath C:\IRIS_Tbx; irisstartup();

The first command, `addpath`, adds the IRIS root folder to the Matlab search path. The second command, `irisstartup`, initialises IRIS and puts the other necessary IRIS subfolders, classes, and internal packages on the search path. Never add these other subfolders, classes and packages to the search path by yourself.

#### Starting and quitting IRIS

- `irisstartup` - Start an IRIS session.
- `irisfinish` - Close the current IRIS session.
- `iriscleanup` - Remove IRIS from Matlab and clean up.

#### Getting information about IRIS

- `irisget` - Query current IRIS config options.
- `irisroot` - Current IRIS root folder.
- `irisrequired` - Throw error if the installed version of IRIS fails to comply with the required minimum.
- `irisversion` - Current IRIS version.

#### Changes in configuration

- `irisset` - Change configurable IRIS options.
- `irisreset` - Reset IRIS configuration options to start-up values.
- `irisuserconfig` - User configuration file called at the IRIS start-up.

#### Getting on-line help on configuration functions
