# Initialize the CLI

The CLI is used to interact with an Akamas Studio server. To initialize the configuration of the Akamas Studio CLI you can run the command:

```bash
akamas init config
```

and follow the wizard to provide the required information such as the server IP.

Here is a summary of the configuration wizard options.

```
Api address [http://localhost:8000]: https://<akamas-hostname>/api
Workpace [default]: default
Verify SSL: [True]: True
Is external certificate CA required? [y/N]: N
```

This configuration can be changed at any time (see how to [change the CLI config](/akamas-docs/installing/install-the-akamas-cli/change-cli-config.md)).

After this step, the Akamas Studio CLI can be used to login to the Akamas Studio server, by issuing the following command:

```bash
akamas login
```

and providing the credentials as requested.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.akamas.io/akamas-docs/installing/install-the-akamas-cli/initialize-akamas-cli.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
