# Overview

> Operate Tangent from the commandline.

Tangent cli ships with everything you need to develop, test, benchmark, and run your own transforms:

* `tangent scaffold` – generate a plugin boilerplate in Go or Python
* `tangent compile-wasm` – compile to a .wasm component
* `tangent test` – validate correctness of transformations
* `tangent bench` – measure throughput and latency before deploying
* `tangent run` – to start the tangent runtime

### Dependencies

* `tingo` – for Go plugins
* `componentize-py` – for Python plugins
* `wasm-tools` – for all plugins

Every Tangent plugin comes with a `setup.sh` script to install these for you.
