#### Using the influx CLI after setting up InfluxDB through the UI
To use the `influx` CLI after setting up InfluxDB through the UI, use one of the following
methods to provide your [authentication token](/v2.0/users/tokens/) to the CLI:
#### Store your InfluxDB authentication token
To avoid having to pass your InfluxDB [authentication token](/v2.0/users/tokens/)
with each `influx` command, store your token using one of the following methods:
1. Pass your token to the `influx` CLI using the `-t` or `--token` flag.
2. Set the `INFLUX_TOKEN` environment variable using your token.
3. Store your token in `~/.influxdbv2/credentials`.
_The content of the `credentials` file should be only your token._
1. Set the `INFLUX_TOKEN` environment variable using your token.
2. Store your token in `~/.influxdbv2/credentials`.
_The content of the `credentials` file should be only your token._
_**Note:** If you [set up InfluxDB using the CLI](/v2.0/reference/cli/influx/setup),
InfluxDB stores your token in the credentials files automatically._
_See [View tokens](/v2.0/users/tokens/view-tokens/) for information about
retrieving authentication tokens._
