+# FreshRSS Command-Line Interface (CLI)
+
+## Note on access rights
+
+When using the command-line interface, remember that your user might not be the same as the one used by your Web server.
+This might create some access right problems.
+
+It is recommended to invoke commands using the same user as your Web server:
+
+```sh
+cd /usr/share/FreshRSS
+sudo -u www-data sh -c './cli/list-users.php'
+```
+
+In any case, when you are done with a series of commands, you should re-apply the access rights:
+
+```sh
+cd /usr/share/FreshRSS
+sudo chown -R :www-data .
+sudo chmod -R g+r .
+sudo chmod -R g+w ./data/
+```
+
+
+## Commands
+
+Options in parenthesis are optional.
+
+
+```sh
+cd /usr/share/FreshRSS
+
+./cli/do-install.php --default_user admin --auth_type form  ( --environment production --base_url https://rss.example.net/ --language en --title FreshRSS --allow_anonymous --api_enabled --db-type mysql --db-host localhost:3306 --db-user freshrss --db-password dbPassword123 --db-base freshrss --db-prefix freshrss )
+# The default database is SQLite
+# Does not create the default user. Do that with ./cli/create-user.php
+
+./cli/create-user.php --user username ( --password 'password' --api-password 'api_password' --language en --email user@example.net --token 'longRandomString' --no-default-feeds )
+
+./cli/delete-user.php --user username
+
+./cli/list-users.php
+# Return a list of users, with the default/admin user first
+
+./cli/actualize-user.php --user username
+
+./cli/import-for-user.php --user username --filename /path/to/file.ext
+
+./cli/export-opml-for-user.php --user username > /path/to/file.opml.xml
+
+./cli/export-zip-for-user.php --user username ( --max-feed-entries 100 ) > /path/to/file.zip
+
