# Starting Talend Runtime

After starting Talend Runtime, you need to wait a few seconds for initialization to complete before entering the commands. Karaf starts the non core bundles in the background. So even if the console is already available, the job commands may not.

Information noteWarning: Do not run the container as root or as a privileged user for security reasons.
