# Connect with Valkey CLI

To connect to the Valkey database, you will need to install the [`valkey-cli` client](https://valkey.io/topics/cli/).

Execute the following command from a terminal window:

```bash
valkey-cli -u VALKEY_URI
```

To check the connection is working, execute the following command returning all Redis parameters:

```bash
INFO
```

You can also list the keys using the command:

```bash
KEYS *
```
