Getting the application to run on startup

I am creating a mac application using the atomic shell that lives on the menu bar. I was wondering what options I would have to run it at startup.

  • Do I need to do this manually by the user?
  • Do I need permission from the user for this?
  • How do I do this programmatically using node / bash?
  • Is there an existing thing in the Atom case?
  • Is there an existing module that can do this?
