# wifi-cli
Manage wireless network connections from the command line. This package wraps
the builtin `nmcli` command in Linux systems, and thus will not work on other
operating systems. Hoping to add support for other platforms soon.
[See it in action (asciinema)](https://asciinema.org/a/5hwe1rdso30almmb7kal7swqt)
## Installation
This package requires at least **Node v6**
To use this tool, you have to install it globally through `npm`:
```
$ npm install -g wifi-cli
```
After installation, you will then have the `wf` command available from the
command line.
## Usage
Display current wireless network connection:
```
$ wf
You are currently connected to NETWORK_NAME
```
Scan nearby wireless networks:
```
$ wf scan
SSID SECURITY SIGNAL
1 NETWORK_ONE WPA WPA2 84
2 NETWORK_TWO WPA2 71
3 NETWORK_THREE -- 70
```
Connect to a wireless network:
```
$ wf connect 1
$ wf connect "NETWORK_NAME"
Password for wireless network NETWORK_NAME: *****
You are now connected to "NETWORK_NAME"
```
Disconnecting from a wireless network:
```
$ wf disconnect
You are now disconnected from "NETWORK_NAME"
```
