Getting a app to be run on startup

Question

I'm making a mac app using atom shell that lives in the menubar. I was wondering what my options would be for getting it to run at startup.

• Does it have to be done manually by the user?
• Do I need permission from the user to do this?
• How would I do it programmatically with node / bash?
• Is there an existing thing within atom shell to do this?
• Is there an existing module that can do this?
