#### Using the influx CLI after setting up InfluxDB through the UI
To use the [`influx` CLI](/v2.0/reference/cli/influx) 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:
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._
_See [View tokens](/v2.0/users/tokens/view-tokens/) for information about
retrieving authentication tokens._
