## Requirements
Python 3.7+
## Pre-requisites
Ensure that following are installed
- `virtualenv`
- `virtualenvwrapper`
## Installation
Multiple installation options possible. For CF development the recommended method is to install from GitHub MASTER branch:
```
$ mkvirtualenv usercli
$ workon usercli
$ pip install git+https://github.com/fabric-testbed/fabric-cli.git
```
For inclusion in tools, etc, use PyPi
```
$ mkvirtualenv usercli
$ workon usercli
$ pip install fabric-cli
```
## Configuration
User CLI expects the user to set `FABRIC_ORCHESTRATOR_HOST` and `FABRIC_CREDMGR_HOST` environment variables.
In addition, User is expected to pass either Fabric Identity Token or Fabric Refresh Token to all the orchestrator commands.
Alternatively, user is expected to set atleast one of the environment variables `FABRIC_ID_TOKEN` and `FABRIC_REFRESH_TOKEN`.
Create config.yml with default content as shown below.
### To enable CLI auto-completion, add following line to your ~/.bashrc
```
eval "$(_FABRIC_CLI_COMPLETE=source_bash fabric-cli)"
```
Open a new shell to enable completion.
Or run the eval command directly in your current shell to enable it temporarily.
