+As a quick test, from the command line type:
+\\
+\\
+    gpio -v
+\\
+This will display the version of WiringPi you have installed.

+Another test, and something you can use a lot to check the status of the gpio is the </color red>readall</color> switch.
+\\
+\\
+    gpio readall
+\\
+This will give an output similar to below (This output is from a Pi Zero v1.3)

+It can be seen that this Pi has GPIO set to OUT and some to IN. I am using the Pi as a clock, so these are the lines going to my LED display.

 ----
+==== Using gpio command ====
+\\
+\\
+Before looking at the commands, there is a switch I want to talk about, this is <color red>-g</color>. If you use the -g switch you are operating on BCM numbers, not PIN numbers. I always use BCM numbers, but some people prefer pin numbers.
+\\
+\\
+To set the function of the GPIO pin, use <color red>gpio -g mode</color>
+\\
+\\
+    using BCM number
+    gpio -g mode 18 out - Sets GPIO18 to OUTput mode (GPIO18 is physical pin 12)
+    using pin instead of bcm
+    gpio mode 12 out - Sets GPIO18 to OUTput mode (GPIO18 is physical pin 12)
+    Modes are In, Out, PWM, Up, Down and Tri.
+\\
+\\
+Set GPIO pin to 1 or 0
+\\
+\\
+    gpio -g write 18 0 - sets GPIO18 to a zero.
+    gpio -g write 18 1 - sets GPIO18 to a one.
