title: Ark CLI
---
The Ark CLI allows you to interact with the Ark Service Provider (ASP). It is a command line tool that can be used to create and manage your Ark Wallet.
## Configure the CLI
The CLI requires an initial setup to initialize the wallet and connect to the ASP:
```bash
$ ark init init --password <PASSWORD> --ark-url <ARK_URL>
```
You can also restore a wallet by specifying the hex encoded private key with the `--prvkey` flag.
## Receive VTXO
### Get receiving address
You can print your onchain and offchain receiving addresses to receive funds with:
```bash
$ ark receive
```
This command also shows the list of relays used to reach the ASP.
:::tip
testnet only: `ark faucet` to receive newly created VTXO from the service provider.
:::
### Print balance
You can see both the onchain and offchain balance of the wallet with:
```bash
$ ark balance
```
## Send VTXO(s)
You can make an offchain payment by sending to either one or many receivers:
```bash
$ ark send --to <ARK_ADDRESS> --amount <AMOUNT>
$ ark send --receivers '[{"to": "<ARK_ADDRESS>", "amount": <AMOUNT>}, ...]'
```
The amount must be specified in _sats_ unit.
## Redemption
### Collaborative redemption
You can redeem onchain your funds by collaborating with the ASP with:
```bash
$ ark redeem --address <ONCHAIN_ADDRESS> --amount <AMOUNT>
```
Any change produced with this operation goes to your offchain address.
### Unilateral redemption
If the ASP is unresponsive you can redeem all your offchain funds unilaterally with:
```bash
$ ark redeem --address <ONCHAIN_ADDRESS> --force
```
