MySQL Shell 9.5 / Getting Started with MySQL Shell / Starting MySQL Shell

4.1 Starting MySQL Shell

When MySQL Shell is installed you have the mysqlsh command available. Open a terminal window (command prompt on Windows) and start MySQL Shell by issuing:

> mysqlsh

This opens MySQL Shell without connecting to a server, by default in SQL mode. You change mode using the \sql, \py, and \js commands.
