# Managing JetStream

Once the server is running it's time to use the management tool.\
Please refer to the [installation section in the readme](https://github.com/nats-io/natscli?tab=readme-ov-file#installation).

```
nats --help
nats cheat
```

We'll walk through the above scenario and introduce features of the CLI and of JetStream as we recreate the setup above.

Throughout this example, we'll show other commands like `nats pub` and `nats sub` to interact with the system. These are normal existing core NATS commands and JetStream is fully usable by only using core NATS.

We'll touch on some additional features but please review the section on the design model to understand all possible permutations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nats.io/running-a-nats-service/nats_admin/jetstream_admin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
