First steps

To use this library it is required to have an account in https://nuvla.io. If you don't have one, go to Nuvla and start with the User Interface.

Once the account is created, you will need to create an API Key credential in Nuvla/UI credentials sections. Due to security reasons, the CLI does not support user/password authentications.

1. Install Nuvla CLI

The package can be installed directly from PyPi repository for convenience.

$ pip install nuvla-cli

Or download the pre-compiled packages from here

Requirements

• All the dependencies are installed with pip.
• Python >= 3.8

2. Create credentials in Nuvla

As mentioned before, to use the CLI it is required to have API credentials in Nuvla.io.

To create them:

1. Go to credentials tab.
2. Click on add in the top left corner.
3. Select Nuvla API-Key and provide the name and description that suits better for your needs.
4. Copy the key-secret as this is the only time it will be provided. If lost, you will need to delete this credential and create a new one.

3. Login the CLI

The CLI provides two login possibilities: environmental variables or cli options.

ENV Variables:

$ export NUVLA_API_KEY='your_api_key'
$ export NUVLA_API_SECRET='your_secret_key'
$ nuvla-cli login

CLI Options

$ nuvla-cli login --key 'your_api_key' --secret 'your_secret_key'

The session is persistent and stored in the user's path under ~/.nuvla/. To remove the session just logout using the CLI.
