When running from the source tree start the compositor *rootston*. Then start

This will make sure the needed gsettings schema is found.
### Running from the Debian packages
If installed via the Debian packages you can also run phosh via gnome-session.
It ships a file in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions so you can bring up a
session using
gnome-session --disable-acceleration-check --session=phosh
This assumes you have the compositor already running. If you want to start
phosh at system boot there's a systemd unit file in */lib/systemd/system/phosh*
which is disabled by default:
systemctl enable phosh
systemctl start phosh
This runs *phosh* as user *purism* (which needs to exist). If you don't have a
user *purism* and don't want to create on you can make systemd run *phosh* as
any user by using an override file:
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/phosh.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
User=<your_user>
WorkingDirectory=<your_home_directory>
