# VGS CLI

The VGS CLI is a developer tool that helps you build, test, and manage your VGS configurations programmatically from a terminal. It enables programmatic usage of VGS APIs in code or as a part of a script or CI/CD pipeline.

## What can it do

You can use the VGS CLI to manage [routes](/vault/http-proxy.md), preferences, [service accounts](/enterprise-platform/access-management/service-accounts-for-programmatic-access.md), [vaults](/vault/vault.md), credentials, and [logs](/vault/developer-tools/vault-management/audit-logs.md).

## How do I get it

You can install the VGS CLI from [PyPi](/vault/developer-tools/vgs-cli/getting-started.md#pypi) or run via the [VGS CLI Docker Image](/vault/developer-tools/vgs-cli/docker.md).

## How do I use it

Read the [VGS CLI Quickstart](/vault/developer-tools/vgs-cli/getting-started.md#quick-start) to learn how to install, authenticate, and manage resources using the VGS CLI.
