# QMK CLI
|
|
|
|
This page describes how to setup and use the QMK CLI.
|
|
|
|
# Overview
|
|
|
|
The QMK CLI makes building and working with QMK keyboards easier. We have provided a number of commands to help you work with QMK:
|
|
|
|
* `qmk compile`
|
|
* `qmk doctor`
|
|
|
|
# Setup
|
|
|
|
Simply add the `qmk_firmware/bin` directory to your `PATH`. You can run the `qmk` commands from any directory.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/qmk_firmware/bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may want to add this to your `.profile`, `.bash_profile`, `.zsh_profile`, or other shell startup scripts.
