The `influxd run` command is the default command for `influxd`.
It starts and runs all the processes necessary for InfluxDB to function.

## Usage

```
influxd run [flags]
```

{{% note %}}
Because `run` is the default command for `influxd`, the following commands are the same:

```bash
influxd
influxd run
```
{{% /note %}}
