## MongoDB Atlas CLI
The MongoDB Atlas CLI is a modern command line interface that enables you to manage MongoDB Atlas from the terminal.
## Installing
### Homebrew
```bash
brew install mongodb-atlas-cli
```
See [Install or Update the Atlas CLI](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/cli/current/install-atlas-cli/) to see all the installation methods available.
### Pre-built Binaries
Download the appropriate version for your platform from [Atlas CLI releases](https://github.com/mongodb/mongodb-atlas-cli/releases).
After you download the library, you can run it from anywhere and don't need to install it into a global location.
This works well for shared hosts and other systems where you don't have a privileged account.
You can place this binary somewhere in your `PATH` for ease of use.
`/usr/local/bin` is the most probable location.
