Arduino CLI is an all-in-one solution that provides Boards/Library Managers, sketch builder, board detection, uploader,and many other tools needed to use any Arduino compatible board and platform from command line or machine interfaces.

In addition to being a standalone tool, Arduino CLI is the heart of all official Arduino development software (ArduinoIDE, Arduino Web Editor). Parts of this documentation apply to those tools as well.
