# Command line reference
|
|
|
|
The Ark client provides a CLI that allows you to initiate ad-hoc backups, scheduled backups, or restores.
|
|
|
|
[The files in the CLI reference directory][1] in the repository enumerate each of the possible `ark` commands and their flags.
|
|
This information is available in the CLI, using the `--help` flag.
|
|
|
|
## Running the client
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you [download a pre-built release][26], but you can also build and run the `ark` executable.
|
|
|
|
## Kubernetes cluster credentials
|
|
|
|
In general, Ark will search for your cluster credentials in the following order:
|
|
* `--kubeconfig` command line flag
|
|
* `$KUBECONFIG` environment variable
|
|
* In-cluster credentials--this only works when you are running Ark in a pod
