Navigating Simmate's Command-Line Interface

Just as we used the --help flag with uv or conda earlier, we can also use it with Simmate. Try running:

simmate --help

The following output should be displayed:

 Usage: simmate [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...                                                                               

 Simmate: A full-stack framework for chemistry research                                                            

 This is the base command that all other Simmate commands stem from. For help with a specific command group, use simmate  
 <group> --help (e.g., simmate database --help).

The output shows us that there are several command groups like simmate database and simmate workflows that we will explore in later tutorials. For instance, you can run simmate database --help to see all commands related to your database.
