# Fauna CLI

The Fauna CLI lets you access [Fauna](http://fauna.com/) from your terminal.
You can use the CLI to:

- Create and manage Fauna
[databases](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/learn/data-model/databases/).
- Manage [database schema](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/learn/schema/)
as `.fsl` files.
- Run [FQL queries](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/learn/query/) from
files or in an interactive REPL.
- Run a local [Fauna container](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/build/tools/docker/).

## Requirements

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager) v20.18 or later.
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager) v22 or later recommended.

## Quick start

To get started:

1. Install the CLI:

```shell
npm install -g fauna-shell
```

2. If you're using bash or zsh, enable auto-complete by appending the output of
`fauna completion` to your `.bashrc`, `.bash_profile`, `.zshrc,` or
`.zprofile`. For example:

```shell
fauna completion >> ~/.zshrc
```

3. Authenticate with Fauna:

```shell
fauna login
```

4. Run CLI commands. Specify a `--database`, including the [Region
Group](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/manage/region-groups/#id) and
hierarchy, to run the command in. For example:

```shell
# Runs a query in the top-level 'my_db' database
# in the 'us' region group. Use the default admin role.
fauna query "Collection.all()" \
--database us/my_db
```

## Installation
