### How to use sui cli?

You can read the complete documentation [here](https://docs.sui.io/build/cli-client)

*   **Create new address**
    
        sui client new-address secp256k1
        
    
    The command returns a new address and the 24-word recovery phrase for it.
    
*   **Check all your address**
    
    the following command returns the list of account addresses available on the platform:
    

The response resembles the following:

    0x008e9c621f4fdb210b873aab59a1e5bf32ddb1d33ee85eb069b348c234465106
    0x011a285261b9f8d10a0c7ecb4c0dbe6d396825768dba38c3056809472736e521
    0x4ab708d1a4160fa0fdbf359691764e16380444ddb48d2b8856a169594a9baa55
    0xa3c00467938b392a12355397bdd3d319cea5c9b8f4fc9c51b46b8e15a807f030
    0xa56612ad4f5dbc04c651e8d20f56af3316ee6793335707f29857bacabf9127d0 <=
    

The `<=` indicates the active address.

You can [switch](https://docs.sui.io/build/cli-client#active-address) to a different address.

**Manage Networks**

*   Add devnet
    

    sui client new-env --alias devnet --rpc https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io:443
    

*   Add testnet
    
        sui client new-env --alias testnet --rpc https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443
        
    

**Get devnet token**

    curl --location --request POST 'https://faucet.devnet.sui.io/gas' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"FixedAmountRequest":{"recipient":"<WALLET ADDRESS>"}}'
    

**Switch to devnet env**

    sui client switch --env devnet
    

**Check gas balance**

    sui client gas <wallet-address>
