# Installation

The CFConfig CLI lives on ForgeBox and can be installed into CommandBox with the following command:

```
CommandBox> install commandbox-cfconfig
```

If you do not have CommandBox installed, have no fear! CommandBox is a single binary that will run on Mac, Linux, or Windows. Please visit our CommandBox docs and you'll have it installed in a jiffy.

## Requirements

The only requirement for the CFConfig CLI is [CommandBox](https://commandbox.ortusbooks.com/setup/installation) 3.6.0 or higher.

## Updating CFConfig

CFConfig is under active development and changing on a regular basis. To make sure you have the latest version installed, you can simply `cd` into the CFML home directory of your CommandBox install and use the regular package `update` command. This will pull in minor and patch updates but not major version changes.

```
update --system
```

If you have a pre-release version of CFConfig or need to upgrade to a new major version, use this command:

```
install commandbox-cfconfig --force
```

## 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://cfconfig.ortusbooks.com/using-the-cli/installation.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.
