Get Anaconda command line interface (CLI)¶

Download and install the Anaconda CLI so you can create and share channels and packages from your Anaconda Repository using normal conda commands.

NOTE: This is necessary only the first time you use it.

Install anaconda-enterprise-cli from your Anaconda Repository:
```
conda install -c https://docs.anaconda.example.com:30071/user-guide/getting-started/ anaconda-enterprise-cli
```
NOTE: Replace anaconda.example.com with the actual URL to your Anaconda Repository.
Configure anaconda-enterprise-cli

Add the url of the Anaconda Repository you will be using to the set of sites available to anaconda-enterprise-cli:
```
anaconda-enterprise-cli config set sites.example.url https://repo.anaconda.example.com:30089/api
```
NOTE: Replace repo.anaconda.example.com with the actual URL to your Anaconda Repository.

Configure it as the default site, the main instance of Anaconda Repository you will be using:
```
anaconda-enterprise-cli config set default_site example
```
Check the configuration:
```
anaconda-enterprise-cli config view
```
Log into your CLI:
```
anaconda-enterprise-cli login
```
Configure the conda channel_alias to retrieve packages from your local Repository:
```
conda config --set channel_alias https://repo.anaconda.example.com:30089/conda
```
NOTE: Replace anaconda.example.com with the actual URL to your Anaconda Repository.

TIP: The anaconda-enterprise-cli package is also available on anaconda.org.
Log into your CLI using the same username and password that you use in the Enterprise web interface:
```
anaconda-enterprise-cli login
Username: <your-username>
Password: <your-password>
```

You can now create and share channels and packages.
