Can not understand how to use ethconsole.

As the title ,I can't understand how to use ethconsole.When I installed cpp-ethereum and run ethconsole.It's tell me 'Could not connect to node. Please start an Ethereum node first.'

root@vultr:~/sources/downloads# ethconsole Connecting to node at /root/.ethereum/geth.ipc IPC Connection Error { Error: connect ENOENT /root/.ethereum/geth.ipc at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11) at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1049:20) at PipeConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1085:14) code: 'ENOENT', errno: 'ENOENT', syscall: 'connect', address: '/root/.ethereum/geth.ipc' } Could not connect to node. Please start an Ethereum node first.

It's doubt me.Please tell me how to do that.Thanks,best wishes!

Perhaps you need to run cpp-ethereum, i.e. eth first. If you are running GNU/Linux, run the following in a terminal:

$ eth

Then open a new terminal and run ethconsole:

$ ethconsole

It should work now.
