As `signumart-massup` is a command line tool you need to get familiar with its commands, which are only a few. You can always use the `-h` or `--help` option to get some brief help.

:::hint{type="success"}
Although it is a command line tool, the user interface is interactive, i.e. the user is guided through the individual steps by means of questions and prompts.

```shell
$> signumart-massup --help

Usage: signumart-massup [options] [command]
