I have a Daedalus wallet running which is a full node so in theory, I should get all the CLI functionality from that one install, how do I access it?

Daedalus has its own cardano-node instance, so you can specify the node's socket variable and use it for cardano-cli purposes.
First, launch Daedalus, and click on Help > Daedalus Diagnostics. Under the "Core Info" section, the "Daedalus State Directory" specifies the filepath that Daedalus uses on your computer. There should be a socket variable (likely named cardano-node.socket) in this directory which you can point to in your bashrc file.
In your CLI, run: nano ~/.bashrc
Now, scroll down and add the following line to the bashrc file:
export CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH=<PATH_TO_SOCKET_IN_DAEDALUS_STATE_DIRECTORY>
Exit the bashrc file and run: source ~/.bashrc
Make sure cardano-cli is installed and is in your $PATH. You should now be able to run cardano-cli commands using Daedalus' cardano-node instance.

Is there a quick command to check if its using deadulus? I have both the repo and Deadlus installed and cant seem to figure out which one node its using (also I have verified all the steps were done exactly as you said and its a beautiful and succinct explanation thanks man). Jun 20 at 5:00

Not sure if there is a "quick" command for this.
cardano-cliwill connect with whichever node's socket variable is specified in thebashrcfile. You can probably use commands likeps auxorhtopto query which processes are running, but if both are running simultaneously, I would just check the bashrc file withnano ~/.bashrc– zheksonJun 20 at 13:43 -
Go to the Deadalus menu, and you should see a menu item that says "Open a Marlowe terminal", and a terminal will open with Marlowe Cli installed.
