Initial Setup

Legacy UI is present in the video, some things might be different

To use the Moralis Admin CLI, you need to install it by running the following code in the terminal:

npm install -g moralis-admin-cli

To see the complete list of available commands, run the help command:

moralis-admin-cli help

To get further information about a command, append helpto the command:

moralis-admin-cli watch-cloud-file help

Arguments to the Commands

You can specify the arguments for each command in a combination of three ways:

1. Inline Arguments

You can specify the arguments inline by either the short or long flag:

moralis-admin-cli watch-cloud-file --moralisApiKey 4fj5edfj553jdj5jfd
# Or
moralis-admin-cli watch-cloud-file -k 4fj5edfj553jdj5jfd

2. Use an .env File

You can place most arguments in a .env file:

moralisApiKey=4fj5edfj553jdj5jfd
moralisApiSecret=5jd7kg3kd9d93jfljkb
...

By doing this, you don't need to specify the arguments inline as long as the .env file is located in the directory that you are running the command from.

3. Use Environment Variables

You can also store the arguments as environment variables on your local machine.

To do this on a Windows machine, press the "Windows Key" and type "environment variables".

Select "Edit the system environment variables":

Select "Environment Variables":

Select: "New":

Input the name and value for the variable and press OK:

Repeat for each variable you want to store.
