Prerequisites

To use this software you need a modern version of NodeJS and NPM. We recommend having the current LTS version (v8.x) installed, or later, and updating NPM to the latest available version.
You will also need an API key for access to hubii's APIs.
An ethereum wallet stored as an UTC file, and is's passphrase.

Installation

To install and make the command part of your path:

npm install -g striim-cli

Configuration

To use the striim CLI tool you need to first create a configuration in your home folder as .striim/config.yaml

Use the init command to create a new config file:

striim init

The config.yaml file is a YAML file where you will need to specify the following properties:

apiRoot - The root domain for hubii's APIs.
appId - The application ID created in hubii's identity server.
appSecret - The matching secret for the application ID.
wallet:
- address - The address of your wallet.
- secret - The pass-phrase for your wallet's UTC file.

The CLI tool will give a warning in the shell if the configuration file is accessible by anyone besides the owner. To keep your wallet and API access secure, make sure only you have access to the config file.

Example file:

apiRoot: api2.dev.hubii.net
appId: 123456789012345678901234
appSecret: ********************
wallet:
    address: 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
    secret: ********************

The UTC file is expected to be found in ~/.striim/keystore.
