# User

In this section, learn to access and use the Platform via both its command-line interface (CLI) and its user interface (UI).

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).

The user documentation 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.

## Key Platform Capabilities

The DNAnexus Platform provides powerful tools for data management, analysis, and collaboration. You can organize your data and analyses in secure, shareable projects with robust tools for uploading, downloading, and managing files.

Using the Platform, you can run apps, workflows, and custom analyses at scale. You can also share your projects and results with team members while maintaining access controls.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://documentation.dnanexus.com/user.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
