+# Using etcdctl
+
+etcdctl provides a CLI for etcd.
+
+If you would like to use etcdctl after installing K3s with embedded etcd, install etcdctl using the [official documentation:](https://etcd.io/docs/latest/install/) 
+
+```
+$ VERSION="v3.5.0"
+$ curl -L https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/releases/download/${VERSION}/etcd-${VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz --output etcdctl-${VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz
+$ sudo tar -zxvf etcdctl-${VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /usr/local/bin
+```
+
+Then start using etcdctl commands with the appropriate k3s flags:
+
+```
+$ sudo etcdctl --cacert=/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/tls/etcd/server-ca.crt --cert=/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/tls/etcd/client.crt --key=/var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/tls/etcd/client.key version
+```
+
 # Configuring containerd
 
 K3s will generate config.toml for containerd in `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/etc/containerd/config.toml`.
