And that's it! If you're installation was successful, you can move on to the user guide that walks you through using the SMA.

If the version of Snowpark Migration Accelerator you have installed is outdated, there will be a notification in the top right corner indicating updates are available. Click on "UPDATE NOW" to download the latest version. Once the download completes, you will get a prompt to install the update.

If you have an issue with installation, please reach out to [e-mail].

Instructions on setting up the CLI for Windows are next on this page.

Windows Command Line Interface (CLI)

To set up the Command Line Interface (CLI) for Windows, follow the instructions below.

1. The first step to setting up the SMA CLI in your Windows environment is to download the corresponding .zip file, which contains all the necessary elements to run the CLI version of the SMA. (See more about downloading the SMA on the Download and Access page.)

2. Next, extract the files from the zip and put them in a convenient location that you can use to include them in your PATH environment variable. In this example, the file is in the C:\ drive.

3. Go to the unzipped files and get into the "orchestrator" folder, then copy that path.

4. 
5. Search "environment variables for your account" in the Windows search bar and click on Edit environment variables for your account.

6. 
7. In the "User variables" section, select the "Path" variable and click on the Edit button.

8. In the "Edit environment variable" window, click the New button and paste the path that you had copied earlier.

9. 
10. Click on OK to leave the current window. Then click on OK to leave the Edit environment variables for your account window.

11. You can now use the sma command in the command line (though you may need to open a new command line prompt).

12. Verify that it was added correctly by executing `sma --version`. You will see the information for your SMA CLI version displayed.

After setting up the Application or the CLI, you can proceed to the user guide, which walks you through using the SMA.
