Before you begin
Before you install wmcd-cli from the NPM registry, do the following:
Install the NodeJS runtime environment version 10.13 or later on your computer along with NPM (Node's package manager).
Note: The Cloud Deployment CLI is available for the following operating system environments:
Windows
Linux
macOS
Open a command line interface and type the following command to install wmcd-cli:
npm install -g wmcd-cli
Specify the credentials to connect to Cloud Deployment
To connect to Cloud Deployment, you must configure the credentials in one of the following ways:
Specify the credentials in
config.json file.
Create a
config.json file under
%appdata%/wmcd_cli/ location for Windows or
/home/wmcd_cli/ in Linux.
Add new profiles in the
config.json file.
The following is an example of default and referenced profile in the configuration file.
{
"default": {
"url": "https://{subdomain}.webmethodscloud.com",
"userName": "userName",
"password": "password”
},
"someotherProfile": {
"url": "https://{subdomain}.webmethodscloud.com",
"userName": "userName",
"password": "password”
}
}
By default, the 'default' settings are read from the configuration file. To enable the referenced profile, run the following command:
wmcd-cli –profile someotherProfile
Specify credentials as runtime arguments.
When you start the CLI, credentials are passed as a runtime argument. For example:
Note: Runtime arguments will have the highest priority. However, If runtime arguments are not passed, then the default profile from %appdata%/wmcdd_cli/config.json is used.
