A command-line interface (CLI) is a mechanism for interacting with a computer operating system or software by typing commands to perform specific tasks.This method of instructing a computer to perform a given task is referred to as "entering" a command: the system waits for the user to conclude the submitting of the text command by pressing the "Enter" key (a descendant of the "carriage return" key of a typewriter keyboard). A command line interpreter then receives, analyses, and launches the requested command. The command-line interpreter may be run in a text terminal or in a terminal emulator window as a remote shell.

It is a much older type of interface where you type in commands by keyboard and have just textual responses. (No mouse, no windows)
