Installing and Using the OCI CLI

Learn how to install and use the OCI CLI to manage resources on Private Cloud Appliance.

The OCI CLI is the command line interface to the Compute Enclave. You can use the OCI CLI on its own or with the Compute Web UI to complete tasks. The OCI CLI provides the same core functionality as the Compute Web UI, plus additional commands, such as the ability to run scripts that extend the functionality. The OCI CLI functionality is based on REST APIs which you can access from a browser with this URL:

https://console.pcasysname.example.com/api-reference

where pcasysname is the name of your Private Cloud Appliance and example.com is your domain. You can find the system and domain names on the dashboard of the Compute Web UI or you can ask an administrator for this information.
