# 3. Running

## Step 1.5 Running

You've defined some stuff, now let's do something with it **(without Docker)**.

On your dev system where you're making this code, let's run it. We'll need a few things first though.
First off, we just need to run (or compile) our definition.
In Python, this just means importing the new class and calling `mythic_container.mythic_service.start_and_run_forever()`.
For Go, it means calling that `Initialize` function and `MythicContainer.StartAndRunForever` with the `MythicContainer.MythicServiceC2` service specified.

<CodeGroup dropdown>
  ```python main.py theme={"system"}
  import mythic_container
  from myc2 import *

  mythic_container.mythic_service.start_and_run_forever()

  # Run this with: python3 main.py
  # this assumes that `myc2.py` is in the same folder with a __init__.py folder so you can import from that file
  ```

  ```go main.go theme={"system"}
  package main

  import (
  	httpfunctions "MyContainer/dns/c2functions" // import your functions, wherever they happen to live
  	"github.com/MythicMeta/MythicContainer"
  )

  func main() {
  	// load up the agent functions directory so all the init() functions execute
  	httpfunctions.Initialize()
  	// sync over definitions and listen
  	MythicContainer.StartAndRunForever([]MythicContainer.MythicServices{
  		MythicContainer.MythicServiceC2,
  	})
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

There's one last thing we need to do before we can run this - indicate how this code will actually connect to Mythic.
This code needs to connect up to Mythic via RabbitMQ to sync this data over and get tasking.

<Note>
  For Python, instead of doing a Makefile and providing all of the parameters via environment variables, you can create a `rabbitmq_config.json` file in the same directory as your `main.py`.
  This file will be automatically ingested when the `main.py` file starts. You can provide the same options here, like a `rabbitmq_password` field and a `rabbitmq_host` field with the right data filled in.
</Note>

At this point, you should see your `MyC2` appear in the Mythic UI under the `InstalledServices` -> `C2` tab.

<Info>
  You'll notice that there might be a warning about being unable to start the internal server for the profile and that it's not listening for connections.
  Don't worry, that's expected! After all, you don't have any actual server code yet, just the Mythic definition.
