To use the CLI, you need to [download and install the `dx` command-line client](/downloads.md#dnanexus-platform-sdk).

If you're not familiar with the `dx` client, check the [Command-Line Quickstart](/getting-started/cli-quickstart.md).

This section provides detailed instructions on using the `dx` client to perform such common actions as logging in, selecting projects, listing, copying, moving, and deleting objects, and launching and monitoring jobs. Details on using the UI are included throughout, as applicable.
