## Difference between mcli and mc

Discussion on GitHub : https://github.com/minio/minio/discussions/16808
```
They are the same thing. Some users like to rename mc to mcli locally if they use 'Midnight Commander' (mc) tool in their machines.
```

```
On Debian based systems mc in PATH does conflict with the Debian package mc.
Having both /usr/bin/mc vs /usr/local/bin/mc in the PATH is calling for trouble.
Hence for Debian systems the mc package is shipping /usr/local/bin/mcli

FYI mcli is close but separated to mmcli from the modemmanager package.
