* Linux x86\_64 platform: Download the twistcli for standard Linux x86\_64 architectures.
* Linux ARM64 platform: Download for ARM64-based systems.
* macOS x86\_64 platform: Download for macOS on Intel-based systems.
* macOS ARM64 platform: Download for Apple Silicon (M1/M2) systems.
* Windows platform: Download the twistcli for Windows environments.

For each platform, you have the option to either: \* Download: Download the utility directly. \* Copy: Copy a curl command to retrieve the tool remotely.

## Path to Console

When using the Jenkins plugin or the twistcli tool, you need to configure them with the correct Console address.

Use the Copy icon to copy the console path from the **Path to Console** section.

## API Token

For access to Prisma Cloud APIs, you will require an API token.

Use the Copy icon to copy the token details from the **API Token** section. This token is used for authentication when making API requests to the Prisma Cloud Console.

The Console UI also shows the token validity. Ensure that the token is stored securely and is rotated before expiration to avoid disruptions in API access.

## 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.prismacloud.io/admin-guide/33/welcome/utilities-and-plugins.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.
