# Running In the CLI

The CLI supports running named-path groups using names and references without any Python coding. First start the CLI.  If you use Poetry, do: `poetry run cli`. Otherwise either: 

```python
python csvpath.cli.cli.py 
```

Or in a script file: 

```python
from csvpath.cli import Cli 
Cli().loop()
```
