# Aroma {docsify-ignore-all}

## Finalizing Setup

Now that Aroma is on your SD Card, we need to set up some final things.

### Booting into Aroma

1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
1. Start the EnvironmentLoader.
    - If you're autobooting into Tiramisu, this can be done by powering on your console and holding `X`.
1. Highlight the entry called `aroma` using the D-Pad.  
    - To make the console autoboot Aroma press `Y`.
1. Launch Aroma by pressing `A`.
    - If you get a red warning screen telling you that updates aren't blocked properly, you might want to block updates by following [this guide](../block-updates).
1. On the Boot Selector, the `Wii U Menu` should already be selected, press Y to set this to your default autobooting option, then press A to launch into the Wii U Menu.
    - To open the Boot Selector in the future, you have hold START (+) while launching Aroma.

You are now running Aroma. Any apps you have on your SD Card will show up on the Wii U menu.

?> **Aroma does not support the Homebrew Launcher**  
Launch apps from the Wii U menu using the `homebrew_on_menu` plugin.

You can now open the Plugin Configuration Menu using `L + Down + SELECT (-)` on the GamePad or Pro Controller (or `B + Down + Minus (-)` for WiiMotes).
