# Starting the EMS Server Using Options

To start the EMS server from the command line using options:

## Procedure

1. Navigate to the `samples` subdirectory.

   Sample EMS server configuration files are located in EMS_HOME/samples/config. For more information, see 'Installing TIBCO Enterprise Message Service' in TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Installation.

   The EMS server dynamically loads the SSL and compression shared libraries, rather than statically linking them. If the `tibemsd` executable is executed from the `samples` directory, it automatically locates these libraries. If the server is moved elsewhere, the shared library directory must be moved as well.

2. Start the `tibemsd`

   Type `tibemsd` [options]

   where options are described in `tibemsd Options`. The command options to `tibemsd` are similar to the parameters you specify in tibemsd.conf, and the command options override any value specified in the parameters. See tibemsd.conf for more information about configuration parameters.
