---

The Sui CLI `console` command provides command-level access to interact with the Sui network by wrapping the Sui Client CLI command in a shell-like functionality. This command spins up a new process and provides the user an environment for running all the available Sui Client CLI commands. In addition, it also offers command history support.

{@include: ../../snippets/cli-check-install.mdx}

## Commands

For all available commands, consult the [Sui Client CLI docs](./client.mdx). To start the Sui Console, type `sui console`, which displays some information similar to the following: 

```shell
🚀 ~ % sui console
   _____       _    ______                       __
  / ___/__  __(_)  / ____/___  ____  _________  / /__
