Nextmv CLI

The Nextmv CLI is a command line interface that lets you easily interact with the other components of the Nextmv Platform.

Export your Nextmv API key as an environment variable:

export NEXTMV_API_KEY="<YOUR-API-KEY>"

Run the following script to install Nextmv CLI:

export NEXTMV_BASE_URL=https://api.cloud.nextmv.io
curl -sS "https://cloud.nextmv.io/install-cli.txt" | bash -

After downloading and installing, the last step is to configure Nextmv CLI with your account:

nextmv configure --api-key $NEXTMV_API_KEY

To display more information about a command, use help or the --help, -h flags.

Nextmv Python SDK

nextmv-py is the Python SDK, a package to interact programmatically with the Nextmv Platform from Python. It is hosted on PyPI. Python >=3.8 is required.

Install via pip:

pip install nextmv

VSCode

While not required, we recommend all users install VSCode as their code editor and extensions for the languages they are working with.
