```
The reason for running `ipfs` under a shell is to avoid needing to hard-code the user's home directory in the job.

If you installed IPFS with `brew install ipfs`, change the path accordingly to e.g. `/usr/local/bin/ipfs`

- To start the job, run `launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.ipfs.go-ipfs.plist`

Notes:

- To check that the job is running, run `launchctl list | grep ipfs`.
- To check that the job is running, run `launchctl list | grep ipfs`. It should give you a line such as this: `1234 0 io.ipfs.go-ipfs`; a dash in lieu of a PID is a sign of failure: check system.log in your Console.app.
- IPFS should now start whenever you log in (and exit when you log out).
- [LaunchControl](http://www.soma-zone.com/LaunchControl/) is a GUI tool which simplifies management of LaunchAgents.
