+# QMK CLI
+
+This page describes how to setup and use the QMK CLI.
+
+# Overview
+
+The QMK CLI makes building and working with QMK keyboards easier. We have provided a number of commands to help you work with QMK:
+
+* `qmk compile-json`
+
+# Setup
+
+Simply add the `qmk_firmware/bin` directory to your `PATH`. You can run the `qmk` commands from any directory.
+
+```
+export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/qmk_firmware/bin
+```
+
+You may want to add this to your `.profile`, `.bash_profile`, `.zsh_profile`, or other shell startup scripts.
+
+# Commands
+
+## `qmk compile-json`
+
+This command allows you to compile JSON files you have downloaded from <https://config.qmk.fm>.
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+qmk compile-json mine.json
+```
