# IDEA CLI utility

`idea-admin.sh` utility is designed to simplify your interaction with your IDEA environment. With this simple tool, you can install a new environment, delete an existing cluster, update the configuration of a live environment or even retrieve the connection endpoints of your deployment via simple 1-liner commands. See some examples below:

* Install a new cluster: `quick-setup` ( [install-idea](https://docs.ide-on-aws.com/idea/first-time-users/install-idea "mention"))
* Generate an empty `values_files.yml` that can be used as base skeleton for your upcoming installation: `quick-setup-help`
* Delete an existing environment: `delete`
* Retrieve connection endpoints: `show-connection-info`
* Run integration test for all modules: `run-integration-tests`
* Update your cluster configuration via `config`  ( [update-idea-configuration-idea-admin.sh-config](https://docs.ide-on-aws.com/idea/first-time-users/cluster-operations/update-idea-cluster/update-idea-configuration-idea-admin.sh-config "mention"))
* Patch an existing cluster via `patch` ( [patch-idea-module-idea-admin.sh-patch](https://docs.ide-on-aws.com/idea/first-time-users/cluster-operations/update-idea-cluster/patch-idea-module-idea-admin.sh-patch "mention"))
* Upgrade backend component via `deploy` ( [update-idea-backend-resource-idea-admin.sh-deploy](https://docs.ide-on-aws.com/idea/first-time-users/cluster-operations/update-idea-cluster/update-idea-backend-resource-idea-admin.sh-deploy "mention"))
* Manage additional FileSystems easily via `shared-storage` ( [Storage Management](https://app.gitbook.com/s/5SSt4opQQGbm5tAfuEqy/storage-management "mention"))
