+The jar containing the SQL CLI is a stand alone Java application and
+the scripts just launch it. You can move it around to other machines
+without having to install Elasticsearch on them. Without the already
+provided script files, you can use a command similar to the following
+to start the SQL CLI:
+
+[source,bash]
+--------------------------------------------------
+$ ./java -jar [PATH_TO_CLI_JAR]/elasticsearch-sql-cli-[VERSION].jar https://some.server:9200
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+or
+
+[source,bash]
+--------------------------------------------------
+$ ./java -cp [PATH_TO_CLI_JAR]/elasticsearch-sql-cli-[VERSION].jar org.elasticsearch.xpack.sql.cli.Cli https://some.server:9200
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+The jar name will be different for each Elasticsearch version (for example `elasticsearch-sql-cli-7.3.2.jar`),
+thus the generic `VERSION` specified in the example above. Furthermore,
+if not running the command from the folder where the SQL CLI jar resides,
+you'd have to provide the full path, as well.
