Command Line Interface
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Augur provides a command line interface (CLI) for interacting with your Augur installation. It's broken up into a few categories: ``db``, ``backend``, ``util``, ``config``, and ``logging``.

Each command is invoked by first specifying the category, then the command name, and then the parameters/options; e.g. the ``list`` command under ``augur util`` would be invoked as ``augur backend start --option1 ...``.

.. note::

    Throughout this section of the documentation, all lines that start with a ``$`` denote a ``bash`` command, and lines with ``>`` denote some sample output of command.
