$ cfy --version

This should display the version of Cloudify that you installed.

Step 5: Configure Cloudify

Before using Cloudify, you need to configure the environment by running the following command:

$ cfy init

This command will prompt you to enter your Cloudify Manager IP and port number, as well as your Cloudify credentials. You can skip this step if you plan to use Cloudify in local mode.
