(adverb) means "Hey there." Basic greeting phrases can sound too formal when you are talking to your friends, so you often use it instead. You can use it any time of the day. It's also a classic thing people can say to a mountain when you climb up to the top of another one and can see the other.
"やっほー！元気？"
"Hi! How are you?"
