-## Using Storj via the Storj CLI
-
-#### Configure the Storj CLI
-1) In a new terminal setup the Storj CLI: ```$ storj setup```
-2) Edit the API Key, overlay address, and pointer db address fields in the Storj
-CLI config file located at ```~/.storj/cli/config.yaml``` with values from the
-captplanet config file located at ```~/.storj/capt/config.yaml```
-
-#### Test out some Storj CLI commands!
-
-1) Create a bucket: ```$ storj mb s3://bucket-name```
-2) Upload an object: ```$ storj cp ~/Desktop/your-large-file.mp4 s3://bucket-name```
-3) List objects in a bucket: ```$ storj ls s3://bucket-name/ ```
-4) Download an object: ```$ storj cp s3://bucket-name/your-large-file.mp4 ~/Desktop/your-large-file.mp4```
