# Command Line usage

## Overview

There are two command line interface (CLI) tools for interacting with a running `cheqd-node` instance:

* **cheqd Cosmos CLI**: This is intended for node operators. Typically for node configuration, setup, and Cosmos keys.
* **Identity SDKs**: Such as [Veramo SDK plugin for cheqd](https://docs.cheqd.io/identity/guides/sdk/veramo-sdk-for-cheqd), for identity transactions with DIDs, Verifiable Credentials, and DID-Linked Resources.

This document is focussed on providing guidance on how to use the **cheqd Cosmos CLI**.
