# Quickstart

> Install the CLI and extract your first PDF in under a minute.

## Install

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g @okrapdf/cli
```

## Authenticate

```bash theme={null}
# Environment variable (recommended for CI)
export OKRA_API_KEY=okra_YOUR_KEY

# Or store locally
okra auth set-key $OKRA_API_KEY

# Interactive login
okra auth login
```

## Extract a PDF

```bash theme={null}
okra extract ./report.pdf
```

That's it. OkraPDF uploads the file, runs OCR, detects tables and figures, and prints the results.

## Ask a question

```bash theme={null}
okra chat "What is the total revenue?" --doc <jobId>
```

Chat with an extracted document — or skip `--doc` for general questions.
