Using the platform externally

A command-line interface (CLI) is available, allowing access to certain functionalities of the platform remotely. It can be used to set up the environment and install the Python packages.

CLI installation

Download the latest version of the CLI for your OS from its releases page on GitHub. Extract the archive and open a console in the path of the dhcli file.

CLI usage

The standard use flow of the CLI is as follows:

  1. Register your instance's configuration. This creates a .dhcore.ini file in your home directory (or, if not possible, in the current one), where the configuration will be stored, to be used and updated by subsequent commands.
./dhcli register http://localhost:8080
  1. Log in. This will open a tab in your Internet browser, where you will have to carry out the log in procedure.
./dhcli login
  1. If you wish to install the python packages, init will do so, matching the platform's version.
./dhcli init

In-detail descriptions of available commands can be found in this dedicated section.
