title: Command-line Guide
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
In this section, we will describe how to use the Solana command-line tools to
|
|
create a _wallet_, to send and receive SOL tokens, and to participate in
|
|
the cluster by delegating stake.
|
|
|
|
To interact with a Solana cluster, we will use its command-line interface, also
|
|
known as the CLI. We use the command-line because it is the first place the
|
|
Solana core team deploys new functionality. The command-line interface is not
|
|
necessarily the easiest to use, but it provides the most direct, flexible, and
|
|
secure access to your Solana accounts.
