 # Acquia Cli
+The Acquia Cli tool provides developers, sysops, release managers and website administrators with a simple to use tool for obtaining information and running tasks on the Acquia Cloud.
+
+Acquia Cli is simple to install and aligns to the permissions constructs already built into Acquia. The tool can be used for any task that can be completed using the Acquia web interface, and contains in-built instructions for each task.
+
+If Acquia Cli doesn't have the task built in, simply create a ticket or a pull request for it to be included.

+## Usage on Windows
+The Phar file has been tested minimally on Windows. It may be executed using PHP from a tool such as [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/). You may run into cURL issues with SSL in some instances.
