naviotool ardupilot {configure, help}

You can choose either configure or help.

configure helps you to choose an appropriate software for your device:

By default, it opens graphical user interface, but if you prefer old-school interface, type:

naviotool ardupilot configure --no-tui

You will be supposed to choose your vehicle and frame corresponding to the available list.

Let's say that we have copter. Then we need to enter '1'.

1) copter
2) plane
3) rover
Type selection number for your vehicle: 1

Running ardupilot without arguments or with help shows you a guide explainig how to enable ArduPilot on boot.
