dbt also supports a [dbt Cloud CLI](/docs/cloud/cloud-cli-installation) and both dbt Core and the dbt Cloud CLI are command line tools that let you run your dbt projects and use the same dbt commands. The key difference is that the dbt Cloud CLI is designed to work specifically with dbt Cloud's infrastructure.
