Install CLIs and register your workstation

This page documents how to download and install the Chef 360 Platform CLIs and register your workstation with your Chef 360 Platform deployment.

Prerequisites

Chef 360 Platform Server installed and running

Install CLIs

Download and install the CLIs from your Chef 360 Platform admin console:

In the Chef 360 Platform admin console, select Application from the top navigation menu, select Dashboard, then select Download CLIs.
From the download page, follow the instructions to download and install each CLI tool.
After the CLIs are installed, run each CLI with the --help flag to verify that it’s installed:
- ```
chef-courier-cli --help
```
- ```
chef-platform-auth-cli --help
```
- ```
chef-node-management-cli --help
```

Register your workstation

Before you can use the Chef 360 Platform CLIs, you must register your workstation with Chef 360 Platform.

Create a profile using the register-device subcommand that associates your workstation with a specific tenant, organization, and role:

chef-platform-auth-cli register-device --device-name <WORKSTATION_NAME> --profile-name <PROFILE_NAME> --url <TENANT_URL> --insecure

Replace:

<WORKSTATION_NAME> with a name for the workstation
<PROFILE_NAME> with a profile name
<TENANT_URL> with the tenant URL, for example https://chef360.example.com:31000

The CLI responds with an authorization code that includes a link to log into Chef 360 Platform.

Device Id :  ac:de:48:00:11:22-admin-chef-courier-cli
Device Name : <DEVICE_NAME>
OAuth Code : <AUTHORIZATION_CODE>

Please log in and authorise the the device by using the link below:
https://chef360.example.com/platform/user-accounts/v1/identity/device/ac:de:48:00:11:22-admin-chef-courier-cli/authorise?oauthCode=<AUTHORIZATION_CODE>&appType=chef-courier-cli&deviceName=<WORKSTATION>

Is the device authorised? (y or n)

Paste the link into your browser and log in. The CLI waits for the device registration process to finish in the browser.

Open a browser, navigate to the link returned by the CLI, and log in if you haven’t already.
Select the organization and role you would like to link to this profile and select Submit.
On the Device Authorization screen, Chef 360 Platform shows your OAuth code and you can select an expiration date for your session.
Chef 360 Platform automatically refreshes your access token up to this expiration date.
After entering this information, select Authorize.

Return to your terminal and enter y to continue.

The CLI displays your device profile and your workstation is authorized to access Chef 360 Platform services.

Is the device authorised? (y or n)
> y
Profile:

[tenant-org-role]
DeviceId = "ac:de:48:00:11:22-admin-chef-courier-cli"
Url = "https://demo.chef360.io/"
OrgName = "Demo Organization"
RoleName = "org-admin"
AccessKey = "FIT3SXM...TCYK4V05Y"
SecretKey = "Cwaygh4FqE2sT...rX4wBu0hp9IE9YpzoGuX"

Device registered successfully

Test your connection by getting the role associated with your user account:
```
chef-platform-auth-cli user-account self get-role --profile <PROFILE_NAME>
```
Replace <PROFILE_NAME> with the name of your profile.
Optional: Set your new profile as the default profile.
The Chef 360 Platform CLIs use a default profile automatically in any command that accepts the --profile argument. If you don’t set a default profile, you will have to specify it in each command with --profile <PROFILE_NAME>.
Set a default profile:
```
chef-platform-auth-cli set-default-profile <PROFILE_NAME>
```
Replace <PROFILE_NAME> with the name of the default profile.

Verify profiles

Use these commands to verify your profiles and credentials.

List all your profiles with the list-profile-names subcommand. For example:
```
chef-platform-auth-cli list-profile-names
```
The response is similar to the following:
```
List of available profile names:
  1. tenant1
  2. default
```
You can use list-profile-names subcommand with any of the Chef 360 Platform CLIs to get a list of your profiles.

Get details of your default profile using the get-default-profile subcommand:

chef-platform-auth-cli get-default-profile

The response is similar to the following:

Default profile:

[default]
DeviceId = "ac:de:48:00:11:22-admin-chef-courier-cli"
Url = "http://tenant-1.dev-360.example.com"
OrgName = "Test OU1"
RoleName = "org-admin"
AccessKey = "FIT3SXM...YK4V05Y"
SecretKey = "Cwaygh4FqE2s...p9IE9YpzoGuX"
Cafile = ""
Insecure = true

You can use get-default-profile subcommand with any of the Chef 360 Platform CLIs to get your default profile.

Use cat to get the details of all profiles:
