Introduction

setting enviromental variables for running API's​

  1. write the script below. please get your API username and password from simwood. vi set_creds.sh
echo "export CARRIER_API_USERNAME='username_from_simwood'" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export CARRIER_API_PASSWORD='password_from_simwood'" >> ~/.bashrc
  1. run script using command below
sh set_creds.sh
  1. Make changes permanent
. ~/.bashrc

simple explanation is; we have created a script set_cred.sh inside the current directory,and we have run it. when you run it, its going to create a file(if non existent) .bashrc inside your home directory. and add the two environmental variables for username and password

verify that the variables are set.

echo $CARRIER_API_PASSWORD
echo $CARRIER_API_USERNAME

this command should display the username_from_simwood as assigned in the script above.




This is a work in progress.... will be updated soon.
