The cf CLI is the official command line client for Cloud Foundry.

The procedures in this topic describe how to install the cf CLI on your operating system. You can install the cf CLI with a package manager, an installer, or a compressed binary.

Open a command prompt on your computer.

In Windows, you can search in the start menu for the application “command prompt”.
