Introduction

Command line tool for Chronos.

Install with the following command:

npm install -g chronos-tools

This will save an executable called chronostools to /usr/local/bin/

Configs and authorization

The default config file (default_config.json) included in the project contains:

• Path to the file with app key and secret (cannot be overridden from custom config)
• AUM and Chronos URLs (can be overridden from custom config)

To override AUM and Chronos URLs, as well as to provide Docker credentials, place a file called config.json in ~/.chronos/. Refer to sample_custom_config.json to see what goes into this config file.

If you do not wish to override default localhost AUM and Chronos URLs, do not include the corresponding fields in your custom config.json
