# CLI Reference
The Reth node is operated via the CLI by running the `reth node` command. To stop it, press `ctrl-c`. You may need to wait a bit as Reth tears down existing p2p connections or other cleanup tasks.
However, Reth has more commands than that:
```bash
reth --help
```
Some of the most useful commands as a node developer are:
* [`reth node`](./node.md): Starts the Reth node's components, including the JSON-RPC.
* [`reth init`](./init.md): Initialize the database from a genesis file.
* [`reth import`](./import.md): This syncs RLP encoded blocks from a file.
* [`reth db`](./db.md): Administrative TUI to the key-value store.
* [`reth stage`](./stage.md): Runs a stage in isolation. Useful for testing and benchmarking.
* [`reth p2p`](./p2p.md): P2P-related utilities
* [`reth test-vectors`](./test-vectors.md): Generate Test Vectors
* [`reth config`](./config.md): Write config to stdout
* [`reth debug`](./debug.md): Various debug routines
See below for the full list of commands.
