+## Using CLI pulsar clients
+
+Pulsar provides a CLI tool called [`pulsar-client`](reference-cli-tools.md#pulsar-client) that enables you to do things like receive messages from a Pulsar topic in a running cluster. This command will receive a simple message saying `hello-pulsar` to the `my-topic` topic:
+
+```bash
+$ bin/pulsar-client consume my-topic -t Shared -s demo-sub -n 0
+```
+
+If the message has been successfully published to the topic as above, you should see a confirmation like this in the `pulsar-client` logs:
+
+```
+----- got message -----
+hello-pulsar
+```
