# Condense CLI

> Run Condense from your terminal: sign in, deploy connectors, watch them run, and start, stop or delete them.

The Condense CLI is the `condense` program that you run in your terminal. You type a command, and Condense does what the command says.

With it you sign in, choose where you are working, deploy a connector, check that it is running, read its logs, and start, stop or delete it.

You sign in once. The CLI remembers it on your computer, so you do not sign in again for every command.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Condense CLI is in beta.
