Before you begin

roles
command, ensure that you have installed the Neon CLI. - If you have not authenticated with the neon auth command, running a Neon CLI command automatically launches the Neon CLI browser authentication process. Alternatively, you can specify a Neon API key using the
--api-key
option when running a command. See Connect.
