EDB Postgres Distributed Command Line Interface
===============================================

The EDB Postgres Distributed Command Line Interface (PGD CLI) is a tool
for managing your EDB Postgres Distributed cluster. It allows you to run
commands against EDB Postgres Distributed clusters. It’s installed
automatically on systems in a TPA-deployed PGD cluster. Or it can be
installed manually on systems that can connect to any PGD cluster, such
as EDB BigAnimal distributed high-availability clusters or PGD clusters
deployed using the EDB PGD for Kubernetes operator.

-  :ref:`Installing PGD CLI <Installing PGD CLI>`  has instructions on manually installing PGD CLI on
   various systems.

-  :ref:`Using PGD CLI <Using PGD CLI>`  offers an introduction to using the PGD CLI and how to
   connect to your PGD cluster.

-  :ref:`Configuring PGD CLI <Configuring PGD CLI>`  has details on creating persistent configurations for
   quicker connections.

-  :ref:`PGD CLI's Command reference <command_ref>`  covers all the available commands to inspect, manage,
   and get information about cluster resources.

-  :ref:`Discovering connection strings <Discovering connection strings>`  shows how to obtain the correct connection strings for
   your PGD-powered deployment.
