tiktalik-cli 1.7

# Tiktalik Command Line Interface

This is a command line interface utility implemented in Python, which enables the user to perform core operations on the [Tiktalik Cloud Computing](http://www.tiktalik.com) service.

## Requirements

• [tiktalik-python](https://github.com/tiktalik-cloud/tiktalik-python)

• Python 2.7

Note that package dependencies are automatically installed by pip.

## Installation

Install using pip:

$ pip install tiktalik-cli

## Authentication

To use the CLI you need an API key. You can generate one in your [admin panel](https://tiktalik.com/panel/#apikeys). The API authentication information consists of an API key and an API secret. You can save this information locally by executing:

$ tiktalik init-auth API-KEY API-SECRET

This saves the key and secret to ~/.tiktalik/auth

Alternatively, if you don’t want to save your API key, you can use the –key and –secret switches on the commandline.

## Usage

The basic usage patterns is:

$ tiktalik COMMAND

You can get a list of commands by running tiktalik without arguments. To get a help on a specific command, run:

$ tiktalik COMMAND –help

We also have [a tutorial](https://www.tiktalik.com/docs/cli-howto/) to quickly get you started.
