# Consume
The process of consuming an asset is straightforward. To achieve this, you only need to execute a single command:
```bash
npm run cli download 'assetDID' 'download-location-path'
```
In this command, replace `assetDID` with the specific DID of the asset you want to consume, and `download-location-path` with the desired path where you wish to store the downloaded asset content
Once executed, this command orchestrates both the **ordering** of a [datatoken](/developers/contracts/datatokens.md) and the subsequent download operation. The asset's content will be automatically retrieved and saved at the specified location, simplifying the consumption process for users.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/developers/ocean-cli/consume.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
