tw_cli to an appropriate location on your system where you
can easily access the file. Make sure to copy the correct version for your

Notes:
When copying the CLI, it is best to copy it to a location that is in the
environment path so you can run CLI without using the complete path
(i.e., /usr/sbin)
Otherwise you will have to type the complete path:
/home/user/tw_cli
