Mysterium CLI

Myst CLI is a command-line interface that allows you to control and manage a Mysterium Node directly from your terminal.
It can be used for onboarding, identity management, service control, payouts, and diagnostics. Either as an alternative to the NodeUI or when running a headless node.

Once launched, the CLI has its own prompt.
You can type help to list all available commands.
Commands support tab autocompletion, and if the output does not begin with [ERROR] or [WARNING], the command succeeded.
