The console is a command-line interface(CLI) that mimics the basic fuctionality of the AirBnB website. It allows users to interact with the application and perform various operations such as creating a new object(eg: a new User or a new Place), Retrieve an object from a file or a database etc…, Do operations on objects (count, compute stats, etc…), Update attributes of an object and Destroy an object.

The command Interpreter is a Python-based interactive shell that provides a command-line interface to interact with the AirBnB application. It allows users to execute various command to manipulate and manage objects within the application"s data storage(Using the json module)

2. Navigate to the directory where the AirBnB clone is. git clone https://github.com/Ekekwecharles/AirBnB_clone.git
3. Run the console.py file ./console.py
4. The console will start, displaying a prompt (hbnb). You are now reaedy to enter commands and interact with the AirBnB application.
