## cryosparcm, cryosparcm cli and cryosparcw references

Workstations or master nodes with a `cryosparc_master` installation have access to `cryosparcm`, CryoSPARC's built-in [command-line](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface) utility for all administrative, management and advanced usage tasks.

The `cryosparcm cli` command provides an extensive API for programmatically controlling cryoSPARC from the command-line.

Workstations or worker nodes with a `cryosparc_worker` installation have access to `cryosparcw`, a utility similar to `cryosparcm` for managing worker installations.
