# Get Started with Gemini CLI
Welcome to Gemini CLI! This guide will help you install, configure, and start using the Gemini CLI to enhance your workflow right from your terminal.
## Quickstart: Install, authenticate, configure, and use Gemini CLI
Gemini CLI brings the power of advanced language models directly to your command line interface. As an AI-powered assistant, Gemini CLI can help you with a variety of tasks, from understanding and generating code to reviewing and editing documents.

Once Gemini CLI is installed, run Gemini CLI from your command line:
```bash

```
For more deployment options, see [Gemini CLI Execution and Deployment](./deployment.md).
## Authenticate
To begin using Gemini CLI, you must authenticate with a Google service. The most straightforward authentication method uses your existing Google account:
