+# :material-console: Command-Line Interface
+
+In addition to the Python API and Jupyter Notebooks, EasyDiffraction
+provides a **command-line interface (CLI)**. This is useful for basic
+operations without writing Python code.
+
+## Running the CLI
+
+The CLI is invoked as a Python module:
+
+```bash
+python -m easydiffraction [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]
+```
+
+If you use **Pixi** and have defined the `easydiffraction` task (see
+[Installation & Setup](../installation-and-setup/index.md)), you can
+use:
+
+```bash
+pixi run easydiffraction [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]
+```
+
+To see all available commands and options:
+
+```bash
+python -m easydiffraction --help
+```
+
+## Available Commands
+
+### Show Version
+
+Display the installed EasyDiffraction version:
+
+```bash
+python -m easydiffraction --version
+```
+
+### List Tutorials
+
+List all available tutorial notebooks:
+
+```bash
+python -m easydiffraction list-tutorials
+```
+
+### Download Tutorials
+
+Download a specific tutorial by ID:
+
+```bash
+python -m easydiffraction download-tutorial 1
+```
+
+Download all available tutorials:
+
+```bash
+python -m easydiffraction download-all-tutorials
+```
+
+Both commands accept `--destination` (`-d`) to specify the output
+directory (default: `tutorials/`) and `--overwrite` (`-o`) to replace
+existing files.
+
+### Fit a Project
+
+Load a saved project and run structural refinement:
+
+```bash
+python -m easydiffraction fit PROJECT_DIR
+```
+
+`PROJECT_DIR` is the path to a project directory previously created by
+`project.save_as()`. It must contain a `project.cif` file along with the
+`structures/`, `experiments/`, and `analysis/` subdirectories.
+
+After fitting, the command displays the fit results and a project
+summary. By default, updated parameter values are **saved back** to the
+project directory.
+
+Use the `--dry` flag to run the fit **without overwriting** the project
+files:
+
+```bash
+python -m easydiffraction fit PROJECT_DIR --dry
+```
