Overview

What is the Entity Services CLI?

The Entity Services Command-Line Interface (CLI) is a cross-platform command-line tool to connect to Entity Services and execute commands on Entity Services resources. It allows the execution of commands through a terminal using interactive command-line prompts or a script.

You can install the Entity Services CLI locally on Linux, Mac, or Windows computers. It can also be run from inside a Docker container.

For interactive use, you first launch a shell such as cmd.exe on Windows, or Bash on Linux or macOS, and then issue a command at the shell prompt. To automate repetitive tasks, you assemble the CLI commands into a shell script using the script syntax of your chosen shell, and then execute the script.
