To avoid having to pass your InfluxDB [authentication token](/v2.0/users/tokens/) with each `influx` command, set up a configuration profile that stores your credentials.
- In a terminal, run the following command: `influx config create -n default -u $INFLUX_URL -o $INFLUX_ORG -t $INFLUX_TOKEN -a`.
This configures a new profile named `default` and makes the profile active so your `influx` CLI commands run against this instance.
In a terminal, run the following command:
```sh
# Set up a configuration profile
influx config create -n default \
-u http://localhost:9999 \
-o example-org \
-t mySuP3rS3cr3tT0keN \
-a

If you set up InfluxDB through the UI and want to use the [`influx` CLI](/v2.0/reference/cli/influx), we recommend setting up a configuration profile. This lets you avoid having to pass your InfluxDB [authentication token](/v2.0/users/tokens/) with each `influx` command. Complete the following steps to set up a configuration profile that stores your credentials.
1. In a terminal, run the following command:
```sh
influx config create -n default -u $INFLUX_URL -o $INFLUX_ORG -t $INFLUX_TOKEN -a
```
This configures a new profile named `default` and makes the profile active so your `influx` CLI commands run against this instance.
```sh
# Set up a configuration profile
influx config create -n default \
