Description
User has installed InfluxDB but is having trouble getting started with Influx CLI.
Add the following to the top of this doc:
The influx CLI is packaged separately from InfluxDB, so installing InfluxDB doesn't automatically install the influx CLI. If you haven't aleady, [download and install the influx CLI](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.3/install/#download-and-install-the-influx-cli).
New user feedback!
Page: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.3/reference/cli/
Feedback: All of the reference documents I am looking at for integrating JMeter and InfluxDB show running the influxdb as a shell. The version 2.3 does not seem to have this! Also the samples I see do not seem to show any authorization tokens, but it looks like the version I installed requires them. I am about to give up. I need this to "just work" - not be a major undertaking to get JMeter data into influx
