# Getting Started with Command
|
|
|
|
The Command module is provided as a part of Vapor's Console package ([vapor/console](https://github.com/vapor/console)). This module provides APIs for creating command-line interfaces (CLIs). It's what powers the [Vapor Toolbox](../getting-started/toolbox.md).
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
For an in-depth look at all of Command's APIs, check out the [Command API docs](https://api.vapor.codes/console/latest/Command/index.html).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
This package is included with Vapor and exported by default. You will have access to all `Command` APIs when you import `Vapor`.
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
import Vapor // implies import Command
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Standalone
|
|
|
|
The Command module, part of the larger Vapor Console package, can also be used on its own with any Swift project.
|
|
|
|
To include it in your package, add the following to your `Package.swift` file.
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
// swift-tools-version:4.0
|
|
import PackageDescription
|
|
|
|
let package = Package(
|
|
name: "Project",
|
|
dependencies: [
|
|
...
|
|
/// 💻 APIs for creating interactive CLI tools.
|
|
.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/console.git", from: "3.0.0"),
|
|
],
|
|
targets: [
|
|
.target(name: "Project", dependencies: ["Command", ... ])
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `import Command` to access the APIs.
