Use one of the following methods to provide your authentication token to the CLI:
1. Pass your token to the `influx` CLI using the `-t` or `--token` flag.
2. Set the `INFLUX_TOKEN` environment variable using your token.
- Create a new InfluxDB connection configuration using the [`influx config create` command](/v2.0/reference/cli/influx/config/create/).
- Pass your token to the `influx` CLI using the `-t` or `--token` flag.
- Set the `INFLUX_TOKEN` environment variable using your token.
```bash
export INFLUX_TOKEN=oOooYourAuthTokenOoooOoOO==
```
3. Store your token in `~/.influxdbv2/credentials`.
_The content of the `credentials` file should be only your token._
_See [View tokens](/v2.0/security/tokens/view-tokens/) for information about
retrieving authentication tokens._
