Monte Carlo CLI

Monte Carlo's Alpha CLI!

Installation

Requires Python 3.9 or greater. Normally you can install and update using pip. For instance:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate

pip install -U montecarlodata

Developers of the CLI can use:

pip install virtualenv
make install
. venv/bin/activate
pre-commit install

Either way confirm the installation by running:

montecarlo --version

If the Python requirement does not work for you please reach out to support@montecarlodata.com. Docker is an option.

Quick start

First time users can configure the tool by following the onscreen prompts:

montecarlo configure

MCD tokens can be generated from the dashboard.

Use the --help flag for details on any advanced options (e.g. creating multiple montecarlo profiles) or see docs here.

Non-interactive / scripted use: when stdin is not a terminal (CI, scheduled jobs), montecarlo configure defaults to API key auth and prints a notice to stderr. Pass --api-key --mcd-id <ID> --mcd-token <TOKEN> to configure without prompts, or --oauth to use OAuth client credentials.

That's it! You can always validate your connection with:

montecarlo validate

User settings

Any configuration set by montecarlo configure can be found in ~/.mcd/ by default.

The MCD ID and Token can be overwritten, or even set, by the environment:

  • MCD_DEFAULT_API_ID
  • MCD_DEFAULT_API_TOKEN

These two are required either as part of configure or as environment variables.

The following values can also be set by the environment:

  • MCD_API_ENDPOINT - Overwrite the default API endpoint
  • MCD_VERBOSE_ERRORS - Enable verbose logging on errors (default=false)

Help

Documentation for commands, options, and arguments can be found here.

You can also use montecarlo help to echo all help text or use the --help flag on any command.

Examples

Using Docker from a local installation

docker build -t montecarlo .
docker run -e MCD_DEFAULT_API_ID='<ID>' -e MCD_DEFAULT_API_TOKEN='<TOKEN>' montecarlo --version

Replace --version with any sub-commands or options. If interacting with files those directories will probably need to be mounted too.

Configure a named profile with custom config-path

$ montecarlo configure --profile-name zeus --config-path .
Key ID: 1234
Secret:

$ cat ./profiles.ini
[zeus]
mcd_id = 1234
mcd_token = 5678
