**CLI walk-through**
When you have OpenFaaS configured you can [get started with the CLI here](https://blog.alexellis.io/quickstart-openfaas-cli/)
Once you [have set up OpenFaaS](https://github.com/alexellis/faas#get-started-with-openfaas) you can follow these instructions:
### Function examples
Let's have a quick look at an example function `url-ping` which connects to a remote web server and returns the HTTP code from the response. It's written in Python.
You can generate new functions using the FaaS-CLI and built-in templates or use any binary for Windows or Linux in a Docker container.
* Python example:
```python
import requests

* Node.js example:
```js
"use strict"
module.exports = (callback, context) => {
callback(null, {"message": "You said: " + context})
}
```
$ curl -sSL https://cli.openfaas.com | sudo sh
```
*handler.js*
*Install the faas-cli which is also available on `brew`*
Clone the samples and templates from Github:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/alexellis/faas-cli
$ cd faas-cli
```
Define your functions in YAML - or deploy via the API Gateway's UI.
```yaml
provider:
name: faas
gateway: http://localhost:8080
functions:
url-ping:
lang: python
handler: ./sample/url-ping
image: alexellis2/faas-urlping
```
*Example function YAML file - `url-ping.yaml`*
```
$ faas-cli -action build -f ./url-ping.yaml
```
*Build a Docker image using the Python handler in `./sample/url-ping`*
```
$ faas-cli -action deploy -f ./url-ping.yaml
```
*Deploy the new image to the gateway defined in the YAML file.*
> If your gateway is remote or part of a multi-host Swarm - you can also use the CLI to push your image to a remote registry or the Hub with `faas-cli -action push`
```
$ curl -d "https://cli.openfaas.com" http://localhost:8080/function/url-ping/

*Test out the function with the URL https://cli.openfaas.com => 200*
