# 6.2 Using sov-cli

The `sov-cli` tool is your primary interface for interacting with your Spicenet node. Here are some common commands and their usage:

1. Generate a new key pair:

```
./target/debug/sov-cli keys generate
```

This will output a new public and private key pair. Make sure to securely store the private key.

2. List transactions in your local pool:

```
./target/debug/sov-cli transactions list
```

This shows all transactions that have been imported but not yet submitted to the network.

3. Query node status:

```
./target/debug/sov-cli node status
```

This provides information about your node's current state, including the latest processed slot and any pending transactions.

4. Get help on available commands:

```
./target/debug/sov-cli --help
```

This displays all available commands and their brief descriptions.

Remember to run these commands from the directory where `sov-cli` is located.
