Summary

In this module, you learned what the AuraNeo4j's fully managed cloud service. CLI is and set it up on your machine. The ideas worth keeping:

  • The CLI and the console are two interfaces to the same platform. The CLI talks to Aura through the Aura API, so an instance you create in one appears in the other.
  • The CLI earns its place when work needs repeating or scripting. A command can be saved, shared, and run inside a script. The console stays the better tool for exploring and one-off tasks.
  • Installation is download, extract, move. The CLI is a single native binary with no dependencies. Placing it in a directory on your PATH makes it available from anywhere in your terminal.
  • aura-cli -v proves the install works. Version output from any directory confirms both that the binary executes and that your terminal can find it.
  • --help means you are never stuck. Every command follows the same help pattern, so the CLI can always remind you of a command's exact form.
