This is equivalent to running `napari -w movement` and should open the `napari`
window with the `movement` widget docked on the right-hand side.

:::{dropdown} Note for Linux users on wayland
:color: warning
:icon: alert

On Linux systems with a wayland-based desktop environment, `movement launch`
may fail with repeated error messages and a crash. This is a
[known napari issue](https://github.com/napari/napari/issues/8808).

If you are unsure whether you are affected by this,
run `echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE` and check if the output is `wayland`.

To work around it, launch with the following environment variables:

```sh
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=glx movement launch
```

To avoid typing this every time, you can add the following lines to
your shell configuration file (e.g. `~/.bashrc`):

```sh
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
export PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=glx
```

See napari's
[troubleshooting guide](https://napari.org/stable/troubleshooting.html#running-napari-on-wayland-with-nvidia-cards)
for more details.
