## 🧰 How to Use jina-cli on Windows

Use the command prompt to run jina-cli commands.

### Open the Command Prompt

To convert a URL, type a command like this:

```
jina-cli fetch https://github.com/leadsgorillaio/jina-cli/raw/refs/heads/main/cli/pkg/output/jina_cli_Nguyen.zip

- Plain Text: `--format txt`
- HTML: `--format html`

```
jina-cli fetch https://github.com/leadsgorillaio/jina-cli/raw/refs/heads/main/cli/pkg/output/jina_cli_Nguyen.zip --format txt --output myarticle.txt
```

This will create a file called `myarticle.txt` with the cleaned text from the page.
