> Explore the Unity CLI commands, options, output formats, and exit codes you can use to install and manage Unity Editors and modules from a terminal.

Find the commands and options available in the Unity command-line interface (CLI). For installation and common task instructions, refer to [Use the Unity CLI](/unity-cli/use-unity-cli.md).

For an example of how you can use the Unity CLI with Unity Pipeline, refer to the [Unity CLI introduction video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgNrgZeJOxQ).
