[OCI CLI](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliinstall.htm) is a cross-platform command-line tool that can be installed locally on development computers. OCI CLI is used to connect to OCI and execute administrative commands on OCI resources.

It is available for a variety of operating systems and Linux distributions and has multiple ways to install it.

## Before you begin

[General installation information](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliinstall.htm#InstallingCLI__linux_and_unix) is available which covers all supported Linux distributions.

This install guide provides a quick solution to install OCI CLI for Ubuntu on Arm.

Confirm you are using an Arm machine by running:

```bash
uname -m
```

The output should be:

```output
aarch64
```

If you see a different result, you are not using an Arm computer running 64-bit Linux.

## Download and Install

The easiest way to install OCI CLI for Ubuntu on Arm is to use the installer script.

Install OCI using the command below.

```bash { target="ubuntu:latest" }
bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oracle/oci-cli/master/scripts/install/install.sh)"
```
You are prompted by the installation script with the following questions:
- In what directory would you like to place the install? (leave blank to use '/home/ubuntu/lib/oracle-cli'):
- In what directory would you like to place the 'oci' executable? (leave blank to use '/home/ubuntu/bin'):
- In what directory would you like to place the OCI scripts? (leave blank to use '/home/ubuntu/bin/oci-cli-scripts'):
- What optional CLI packages would you like to be installed (comma separated names; press enter if you don't need any optional packages)?:

You can press Enter for the the default selection on all the questions or enter the path to a directory of your choice.

Verify OCI CLI installed:

```bash { target="ubuntu:latest" }
oci --version
```

After a successful log in, you can use the [OCI CLI](../oci-cli) and automation tools like [Terraform](../terraform) from the terminal.
