# Command-line Interface

Apex uses a command-line interface to add new collectors to the systems and simulators that are participating. This command line interface allows users to easily send their data to the APEX cloud and have each user participate with the exercise data collection.

# Usage

apex-collect <command> [options]

Commands:
  start    Start the local server daemon for collection
  stop     Stop an already running server
  settings [targetDir]  Prompts for variables stored in the .apex/settings.yml for customization.
  version               Shows version and information about the local environment

You can always add --help flag for more information.
