## Step 1: Download RCTL

The RCTL CLI allows you to programmatically interact with the controller enabling users to construct sophisticated automation workflows.

- Login into your Org
- Navigate to "My Tools" to download both the [RCTL CLI](https://docs.rafay.co/cli/overview/) and the "CLI Config" file
- Initialize RCTL using the [step-by-step instructions](https://docs.rafay.co/cli/config/)
- Ensure you update your OS's Path environment variable for RCTL

## Step 2: Clone Git Repo

Declarative specs for the resources in this guide are available in a [Git repository](https://github.com/RafaySystems/getstarted)

- Clone the Git repository to your laptop using the command below.

```
git clone https://github.com/RafaySystems/getstarted.git
```

- Once complete, you should see a folder called **"gpumks"** which contains the specification files needed for this exercise.
