user5844: I have a Daedalus wallet running which is a full node so in theory, I should get all the CLI functionality from that one install, how do I access it?

user4302: Daedalus has its own cardano-node instance, so you can specify the node's socket variable and use it for cardano-cli purposes.
First, launch Daedalus, and click on Help > Daedalus Diagnostics. Under the "Core Info" section, the "Daedalus State Directory" specifies the filepath that Daedalus uses on your computer. There should be a socket variable (likely named cardano-node.socket) in this directory which you can point to in your bashrc file.
In your CLI, run: nano ~/.bashrc
Now, scroll down and add the following line to the bashrc file:
export CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH=<PATH_TO_SOCKET_IN_DAEDALUS_STATE_DIRECTORY>
Exit the bashrc file and run: source ~/.bashrc
Make sure cardano-cli is installed and is in your $PATH. You should now be able to run cardano-cli commands using Daedalus' cardano-node instance.
