# EBSI Command Line Interface
The EBSI CLI is a Command Line Interface to connect and test some of the EBSI Core Services provided on the European Blockchain Service Infrastructure (EBSI).
**IMPORTANT REMARKS:**
- EBSI CLI is a sample code to help Early Adopters (EA), this is not perfect code (nor audited code) but we share it in beta version to help EA better understanding through real User Code, how to consume EBSI Core Services.
- For optimal stability, we highly recommend to use the [**Node.js version 20.12**](https://nodejs.org/en/download).
## Start the tool
You can start the tool by running:
```sh
npx @cef-ebsi/cli
```
When the CLI prompts `==>` it will be ready to receive commands. There is no need to install the package. It needs NodeJS v18 or superior version as a prerequisite.
