# Python CLI

Pyiceberg comes with a CLI that's available after installing the `pyiceberg` package.

You can pass the path to the Catalog using the `--uri` and `--credential` argument, but it is recommended to setup a `~/.pyiceberg.yaml` config as described in the [Catalog](configuration.md) section.

```sh
➜  pyiceberg --help
Usage: pyiceberg [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
--catalog TEXT
--verbose BOOLEAN
--output [text|json]
--ugi TEXT
--uri TEXT
--credential TEXT
--help                Show this message and exit.

Commands:
describe    Describes a namespace xor table
drop        Operations to drop a namespace or table
list        Lists tables or namespaces
location    Returns the location of the table
properties  Properties on tables/namespaces
rename      Renames a table
schema      Gets the schema of the table
spec        Returns the partition spec of the table
uuid        Returns the UUID of the table
```

This example assumes that you have a default catalog set. If you want to load another catalog, for example, the rest example above. Then you need to set `--catalog rest`.

```sh
➜  pyiceberg list
default
nyc
```

```sh
➜  pyiceberg list nyc
nyc.taxis
```

```sh
➜  pyiceberg describe nyc.taxis
