Once you have already installed the CLI, you can use its set of commands and flags to provision a cluster and start working with Kyma.

In a nutshell, this is the syntax you can use to run the commands from your terminal:

where:

• {COMMAND} specifies the operation you want to perform.
• {FLAGS} specifies optional flags.
