# Pylenium CLI

## pylenium init

Initializes Pylenium into the current directory. This creates Pylenium's required files:

* **`conftest.py`**
* **`pylenium.json`**
* **`pytest.ini`**

{% code title="Terminal $" %}

```bash
pylenium init
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Make sure to run this command at the <mark style="color:yellow;">**Project Root**</mark> (aka Workspace)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, this will not overwrite Pylenium files if they already exist.
{% endhint %}

## Overwrite conftest.py file

You can overwrite an existing <mark style="color:yellow;">**conftest.py**</mark> file with the latest version by using the **`-c`** flag.

{% code title="Terminal $" %}

```bash
pylenium init -c
```

{% endcode %}

## Overwrite pylenium.json file

You can overwrite an existing <mark style="color:yellow;">**pylenium.json**</mark> file with the latest defaults by using the **`-p`** flag.

{% code title="Terminal $" %}

```bash
pylenium init -p
```

{% endcode %}

## Overwrite pytest.ini file

You can overwrite an existing <mark style="color:yellow;">**pytest.ini**</mark> file with the latest defaults by using the **`-i`** flag.

{% code title="Terminal $" %}

```bash
pylenium init -i
```

{% endcode %}

## Overwrite multiple files at once

You can overwrite two or more files by combining flags.

{% code title="Terminal" %}

```bash
pylenium init -cpi
```

{% endcode %}
