GoCommands Configuration¶

Using the `init` Command¶

The init command sets up the iRODS Host and access account for use with other GoCommands tools. Once the configuration is set, configuration files are created under the ~/.irods directory. The configuration is fully compatible with that of iCommands.

Run the following command to configure GoCommands:
```
gocmd init
```
Getting 'Command not found error?'

This error indicates that the system could not locate gocmd binary in the directories specified by the $PATH environment variable. To resolve this:
1. Use an absolute path: Run ./gocmd init from the directory where you downloaded the gocmd binary.
2. For easier future use: Move the gocmd binary to a directory in your $PATH, such as /usr/local/bin.
3. Windows users: Ensure the executable is named gocmd.exe and run gocmd.exe init to initialize.
Enter your Data Store account credentials when prompted. Use the following information:

Configuration Key Value

irods_host data.cyverse.org

irods_port 1247

irods_zone_name iplant

irods_user_name <CyVerse Username>

irods_user_password <CyVerse Password>

Use these credentials for anonymous access to the Data Store:

Configuration Key Value

irods_user_name anonymous

irods_user_password (leave empty)
To verify the current configuration, use:
```
gocmd env
```
This will display the current configurations.
Execute GoCommands for your task:
```
gocmd ls
```

Using iCommands Configuration¶

GoCommands is compatible with iCommands' configuration files. It can automatically detect and use the existing iCommands configuration files located in ~/.irods. Additionally, GoCommands creates its own configuration files in this directory, allowing users to work with both iCommands and GoCommands interchangeably.

Using an External Configuration File (YAML or JSON) without `init`¶

GoCommands can read configurations from YAML or JSON files without running init to create the ~/.irods directory. This approach offers flexibility but requires specifying the configuration file path for each command. Here's how to use this method:

Create a file named config.yaml using your preferred text editor:
```
irods_host: "data.cyverse.org"
irods_port: 1247
irods_zone_name: "iplant"
irods_user_name: "<CyVerse Username>"
irods_user_password: "<CyVerse Password>"
```
Prefer not to include your password in the file?

You can omit sensitive fields like irods_user_password, and GoCommands will prompt you to enter the missing values during runtime.
To use this configuration file, provide its path with the -c flag when running GoCommands:
```
gocmd -c config.yaml env
```
Execute GoCommands for your task:
```
gocmd -c config.yaml ls
```

Using an External Configuration File (YAML or JSON)¶

The init command can be executed with an external file to automate configuration.

Create a file named config.yaml using your preferred text editor:
```
irods_host: "data.cyverse.org"
irods_port: 1247
irods_zone_name: "iplant"
irods_user_name: "<CyVerse Username>"
irods_user_password: "<CyVerse Password>"
```
Prefer not to include your password in the file?

You can omit sensitive fields like irods_user_password, and GoCommands will prompt you to enter the missing values during runtime.
Execute the init command with the -c flag to configure:
```
gocmd -c config.yaml init
```

Using Environmental Variables without `init`¶

GoCommands can read configuration directly from environmental variables, which take precedence over other configuration sources.

Export the required variables in your terminal:
```
export IRODS_HOST="data.cyverse.org"
export IRODS_PORT=1247
export IRODS_ZONE_NAME="iplant"
export IRODS_USER_NAME="<CyVerse Username>"
export IRODS_USER_PASSWORD="<CyVerse Password>"
```
Prefer not to set your password as an environment variable?

You can omit sensitive fields like IRODS_USER_PASSWORD, and GoCommands will prompt you to enter the missing values during runtime.
Run GoCommands to verify the environment settings:
```
gocmd env
```
Execute GoCommands for your task:
```
gocmd ls
```

Using Environmental Variables¶

The init command can be executed with environmental variables to automate configuration.

Export the required variables in your terminal:
```
export IRODS_HOST="data.cyverse.org"
export IRODS_PORT=1247
export IRODS_ZONE_NAME="iplant"
export IRODS_USER_NAME="<CyVerse Username>"
export IRODS_USER_PASSWORD="<CyVerse Password>"
```
Prefer not to set your password as an environment variable?

You can omit sensitive fields like IRODS_USER_PASSWORD, and GoCommands will prompt you to enter the missing values during runtime.
Execute the init command:
```
gocmd init
```
Note: GoCommands will prompt you to input only the missing fields.
