# Use Redocly CLI with Redoc CE

With [Redocly CLI](https://redocly.com/docs/cli/installation), you can bundle your OpenAPI definition and API documentation (made with Redoc CE) into an HTML file and render it locally.

## Build API documentation

The Redocly CLI `build-docs` command uses Redoc CE to transform an API description file into a human-readable HTML file.

To build an HTML file using Redocly CLI:

- Enter the following command, replacing `apis/openapi.yaml` with your API description file's name and path:



```bash
npx @redocly/cli build-docs apis/openapi.yaml
```

After the command finishes running, you can share the HTML file or host it on a platform of your choice.
