# CLI Hello World

Here's a high-level overview of the steps required to activate the Hello World code sample using the EdgeWorkers CLI.

> 📘 Request enhanced debug headers
> 
> To return detailed debugging information for your EdgeWorkers functions follow the instructions in the [Enhanced debug headers](enable-enhanced-debug-headers.md) section.

> 👍 Before you start
> 
> Refer to the comprehensive [CLI documentation](https://github.com/akamai/cli-edgeworkers) for instructions on how to install the EdgeWorkers package. You'll also find an overview of commands you can use to manage your EdgeWorkers.
> 
> Make sure to follow the instructions in the [Get Started with APIs](https://techdocs.akamai.com/developer/docs/set-up-authentication-credentials) documentation. These instructions apply to both Akamai APIs and Akamai CLIs. You need to authenticate your CLI requests using EdgeGrid, a proprietary authentication system for APIs deployed through Akamai Control Center.
