# Consul Namespace Write
Command: `consul namespace write`
This `namespace write` command creates or updates a namespaces configuration. This was added in Consul Enterprise 1.7.0.
## Usage
Usage: `consul namespace write <namespace definition>`
The `<namespace definition>` must either be a file path or `-` to indicate that
the definition should be read from stdin. The definition can be in either JSON
or HCL format. See [here](/docs/enterprise/namespaces/index.html#namespace-definition) for a description of the namespace definition.
