## Navigating With the Command Prompt and Launching the Arduino CLI

Since the Arduino CLI is a command line tool, it is not a program that you can launch by double clicking on the `.exe` file. Instead, we need to start it from the command prompt. Using the command prompt can be thought of like using the file explorer, you are in a folder, can move around to other folders, create new files, delete files, etc. The difference is that you do all of these things with commands instead of buttons.

Unlike the file explorer where you click the folder you want to go to, navigating in the command prompt is done by first writing the command letting the program know that we want to move somewhere new, then telling it where we want to go.

## Finding Information About your Board

To compile sketches and to upload to your Arduino board, you need to know some information about the board you have connected, in this step we're going to find all the information we need. Connect your Arduino board to your computer, and execute the command:

If you are, like we are, using an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, the `FQBN` will be `arduino:mbed_nano:nano33ble`, and we need to specify every time we are compiling and uploading sketches, that they need to be compiled for this board, just like we do in the IDE.

## Installing Cores

If you have already used your Arduino board with the IDE, you can skip this step entirely. Otherwise, there are some files you may need to install to be able to use the board. But don't worry, it's just one command. The Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense uses the `arduino:mbed_nano` core, which is another piece of information that we got from the last command we executed, so we need to install that before using the board.

If you are unsure whether or not you have the core installed, go through with this step. If it is already installed, it won't do any harm to do it again.
