| For the latest and complete information about command-line tools, including commands, flags, descriptions, and more information, see the [reference doc](pathname:///reference/#/@pulsar:version_reference@/). |

| |
| All Pulsar command-line tools can be run from the `bin` directory of your [installed Pulsar package](getting-started-standalone.md). |
| |
| You can get help for any CLI tool, command, or subcommand using the `--help` flag, or `-h` for short. Here's an example: |
| |
| ```shell |
| bin/pulsar broker --help |
| ``` |
