Installing the lakectl command locally
lakectl
is distributed as a single binary, with no external dependencies - and is available for MacOS, Windows and Linux.
Configuring credentials and API endpoint
Once you’ve installed the lakectl command, run:
lakectl config
# output:
# Config file /home/janedoe/.lakectl.yaml will be used
# Access key ID: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
# Secret access key: ****************************************
# Server endpoint URL: http://localhost:8000/api/v1
This will setup a $HOME/.lakectl.yaml
file with the credentials and API endpoint you’ve supplied.
When setting up a new installation and creating initial credentials (see Quick start), the UI
will provide a link to download a preconfigured configuration file for you.
