## Overview
There are many ways to connect to your newly flashed device. Below is a quickstart for each client that you can use to connect to your radio.
### Commandline Interface (CLI)
The CLI is currently the best way to manage your settings. It is feature rich and well documented. The [settings pages](/docs/settings) have examples for each user preference for the device. The CLI is included in the [Meshtastic-python](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-python) project. If you'd like to use python to interface with a device, see the [API documentation](https://python.meshtastic.org).
To install/upgrade Meshtastic-python, see below:
```bash title="Install Meshtastic-python (includes CLI)"
pip install meshtastic
```
```bash title="Upgrade Meshtastic-python (includes CLI)"
pip install --upgrade meshtastic
```
