Command Line Interface (CLI)

The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a way to interact with Chameleon resources using shell and scripting tools. Chameleon uses the OpenStack Client to provide CLI functionality. This documentation section provides an overview on how to install the client and configure your shell environment to access Chameleon features.

Attention

Some of the Chameleon features are only accessible via the CLI, such as power monitoring tools and the advanced networking features.

Note

Chameleon Cloud is primarily designed to support Unix-like environments. Therefore, it is highly recommended using CLI in a Unix-like system. For Windows 10 users, you may want to enable Windows Subsystem for Linux to get better experience with the Chameleon CLI.
