# CLI Installation

## Using Shuttle within your projects

For managing dependencies and running Shuttle commands within your projects, it is recommended to use `uv` directly.

1. Create a Virtual Environment:

   Navigate to your project directory and create a virtual environment with `uv`.

   ```bash
   uv venv
   source .venv/bin/activate
   ```
2. Add Shuttle Dependency:

   Add the `shuttle` package to your project's dependencies.

   ```bash
   uv init
   uv add shuttle-cobra
   ```
3. Run Shuttle Commands:

   Execute Shuttle commands using `uv run -m shuttle` to ensure they run within your project's isolated environment.

   ```bash
   uv run -m shuttle deploy
   uv run -m shuttle logs
   uv run -m shuttle local
   ```

   Alternatively, if you are activated in your virtual environment, you can use the `shuttle` script.

   ```bash
   shuttle deploy
   shuttle logs
   shuttle local
   ```

## 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://shuttle-1.gitbook.io/shuttle-cobra/getting-started/quickstart-1.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.
