# Quickstart: CLI

> Get up and running with Memanto using the command-line interface.

# Quickstart: CLI (5 Minutes)

Get Memanto working with real memory operations in under 5 minutes.

## Prerequisites

* Memanto installed (`pip install memanto`)
* Moorcheh API key configured (`memanto` setup)
* Terminal access

## 1. Check Status

Verify everything is set up:

```bash theme={null}
memanto status
```

## 2. Create and Activate Your First Agent

Creating an agent now automatically activates a session for you, so you're ready to go immediately.

```bash theme={null}
memanto agent create quick-demo
```

**Output:**

```
✓ Agent 'quick-demo' created successfully
✓ Session activated for agent 'quick-demo'
Session ID:     session_abc123xyz
Session Token:  eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...
Expires In:     6h 0m
```

Verify activation:

```bash theme={null}
memanto status
```

## 3. Store Your First Memory

Store a simple fact:

```bash theme={null}
memanto remember "Paris is the capital of France" --type fact
```

Store a preference:

```bash theme={null}
memanto remember "I prefer responses in JSON format" --type preference
```

Store a commitment:

```bash theme={null}
memanto remember "Will complete the project by Friday" --type commitment
```

## 4. Recall Memories

Retrieve memories using semantic search:

```bash theme={null}
memanto recall "What is the capital of France?"
```

Recall by semantic similarity (not exact match):

```bash theme={null}
memanto recall "What format should responses be in?"
```

## 5. Get AI-Powered Answers

Generate answers grounded in your memories:

```bash theme={null}
memanto answer "Where is the capital of France and what format should I use?"
```

## 6. View Daily Summary (optional)

See all your memories and any conflicts:

```bash theme={null}
memanto daily-summary
```

## 7. Detect Contradictions (optional)

Check for conflicting memories:

```bash theme={null}
memanto conflicts
```

If you add a contradictory memory:

```bash theme={null}
memanto remember "Paris is in Germany" --type fact
```

Then check conflicts:

```bash theme={null}
memanto conflicts
```
