# Command-line interface

You configure the SeaLights ABAP Agent using a command-line interface program (`slabapcli.exe`) installed to the agent's `bin` directory. The pages below are organized in the order you'd typically use them, from initial setup through ongoing pipeline monitoring.

## Prerequisites

Before you set up the Agent, the first step is to test your machine's connection to SeaLights. See [Set up the agent � Prerequisite to Agent Setup](/knowledgebase/setup-and-configuration/sealights-agents-and-plugins/abap-agent-2.0/command-line-interface/set-up-the-agent.md#prerequisite-to-agent-setup) for the connectivity check commands.

To display the command-line interface's help file, open a terminal as an Administrator and change to the agent's `bin` directory (default: `C:\Program Files\Tricentis\SeaLights\ABAP Agent\bin`).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sealights.io/knowledgebase/setup-and-configuration/sealights-agents-and-plugins/abap-agent-2.0/command-line-interface.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
