CLI Usage¶

The Nube CLI is the primary way to interact with the daemon and manage your data fabric.

Common Commands¶

Show node health, identity, and peer counts:

nube status

Start the daemon in the foreground:

nube start

List files in a Nube virtual directory (defaults to root /):

nube ls /Documents/Work

Upload a local file:

nube put /Documents/report.pdf

Download a file by its CID:

nube get <CID> /Documents/retrieved-file.pdf

Organize your virtual data inside Nube:

nube mkdir /Documents/ProjectA
nube mv /report.pdf /Documents/ProjectA/report.pdf

Nube can open files directly in your system’s default applications while keeping them in sync with the fabric.

Open a file for viewing by its CID:

nube open <CID> report.pdf

Open a file for editing by its CID (automatically syncs changes back to Nube on save):

nube edit <CID> Notes.txt
