# systemctl enable initial-setup.service

Note that, regardless of this setting, the license agreement entry is not displayed again if you previously accepted it. - Reboot the system.
Note
The initial-setup-gui (graphical mode) or initial-setup (text mode) packages must be installed for to run Initial Setup.
