# QUICKSTART

> Authenticate, select your workspace, and view commands

This assumes you have already [installed the CLI](/cli/installation).

## AUTHENTICATE

<Steps>
  <Step title={<>Create an API key in your <a href="https://platform.oumi.ai/workspace/user">user settings</a></>} />

  <Step title="Log in">
    ```bash theme={null}
    oumi-cli auth login --api-key "<your-api-key>"
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## CHOOSE WHERE TO WORK

```bash theme={null}
oumi-cli organizations list
oumi-cli organizations set <ORG_ID>
oumi-cli projects list
oumi-cli projects set <PROJECT_ID>
```

## EXPLORE THE COMMANDS

`--help` works at every level, and each group lists its subcommands:

```bash theme={null}
oumi-cli --help
oumi-cli datasets --help
oumi-cli datasets upload --help
```

To see the whole surface at once, or to search it by keyword:

```bash theme={null}
oumi-cli --command-list
oumi-cli search train
```
