# Using the client from your command line From time to time you may want to do the occasional check on your project, or you are just evaluating a project and you want to check how it scores. In that case you may want to run the client in **interactive mode**: the client will assume that a person is present and ready to react to any issue. The quite common case is to provide a login to a Meterian account: as your results will be computed in the cloud, you want to maintain those completely private, and for that reason you will need to provide the client an authorization token linked to your account. By default the client runs in interactive mode. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.meterian.io/the-client/using-the-client.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
