# CLI, environment ## `catalog` ``` usage: quilt3 catalog [-h] [--detailed_help] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--no-browser] [navigation_target] Run Quilt catalog locally positional arguments: navigation_target Which page in the local catalog to open. Leave blank to go to the catalog landing page, pass in an s3 url (e.g. 's3://bucket/myfile.txt') to go to file viewer, or pass in a package name in the form 'BUCKET:USER/PKG' to go to the package viewer. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --detailed_help Display detailed information about this command and then exit --host HOST Bind socket to this host --port PORT Bind to a socket with this port --no-browser Don't open catalog in a browser after startup ``` Run the Quilt catalog on your machine. Running `quilt3 catalog` launches a Python webserver on your local machine that serves a catalog web app and provides required backend services using temporary AWS credentials. Temporary credentials are derived from your default AWS credentials (or active `AWS_PROFILE`) using `boto3.sts.get_session_token`. For more details about configuring and using AWS credentials in `boto3`, see the AWS documentation: #### Previewing files in S3 The Quilt catalog allows users to preview files in S3 by downloading and processing/converting them inside the Python webserver running on local machine. Neither your AWS credentials nor data requested goes through any third-party cloud services aside of S3. ## `config` ``` usage: quilt3 config [-h] [--set KEY=VALUE [KEY=VALUE ...]] [catalog_url] Configure Quilt positional arguments: catalog_url URL of catalog to config with, or empty string to reset the config optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --set KEY=VALUE [KEY=VALUE ...] Set a number of key-value pairs for config_values(do not put spaces before or after the = sign). If a value contains spaces, you should define it with double quotes: foo="this is a sentence". Note that values are always treated as strings. ``` ## `config-default-remote-registry` ``` usage: quilt3 config-default-remote-registry [-h] default_remote_registry Configure default remote registry for Quilt positional arguments: default_remote_registry The default remote registry to use, e.g. s3://quilt-ml optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit ``` ## `disable-telemetry` ``` usage: quilt3 disable-telemetry [-h] Disable anonymous usage metrics optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit ``` ## `install` ``` usage: quilt3 install [-h] [--registry REGISTRY] [--top-hash TOP_HASH] [--dest DEST] [--dest-registry DEST_REGISTRY] [--path PATH] name Install a package positional arguments: name Name of package, in the USER/PKG format optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --registry REGISTRY Registry where package is located, usually s3://MY- BUCKET. Defaults to the default remote registry. --top-hash TOP_HASH Hash of package to install. Defaults to latest. --dest DEST Local path to download files to. --dest-registry DEST_REGISTRY Registry to install package to. Defaults to local registry. --path PATH If specified, downloads only PATH or its children. ``` ## `list-packages` ``` usage: quilt3 list-packages [-h] registry List all packages in a registry positional arguments: registry Registry for packages, e.g. s3://quilt-example optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit ``` ## `login` ``` usage: quilt3 login [-h] Log in to configured Quilt server optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit ``` ## `logout` ``` usage: quilt3 logout [-h] Log out of current Quilt server optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit ``` ## `push` ``` usage: quilt3 push --dir DIR [-h] [--registry REGISTRY] [--dest DEST] [--message MESSAGE] [--meta META] [--workflow WORKFLOW] [--force] name Pushes the new package to the remote registry positional arguments: name Name of package, in the USER/PKG format required arguments: --dir DIR Directory to add to the new package optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --registry REGISTRY Registry where to create the new package. Defaults to the default remote registry. --dest DEST Where to copy the objects in the package --message MESSAGE The commit message for the new package --meta META Sets package-level metadata. Format: A json string with keys in double quotes '{"key": "value"}' --workflow WORKFLOW Workflow ID or empty string to skip workflow validation. If not specified, the default workflow will be used. --force Skip the parent top hash check and create a new revision even if your local state is behind the remote registry. ``` ## `verify` ``` usage: quilt3 verify [-h] --registry REGISTRY --top-hash TOP_HASH --dir DIR [--extra-files-ok] name Verify that package contents matches a given directory positional arguments: name Name of package, in the USER/PKG format optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --registry REGISTRY Registry where package is located, usually s3://MY- BUCKET --top-hash TOP_HASH Hash of package to verify --dir DIR Directory to verify --extra-files-ok Whether extra files in the directory should cause a failure ``` ## Environment variables ### `QUILT_DISABLE_CACHE` Turn off cache. Defaults to `False`. ``` $ export QUILT_DISABLE_CACHE=true ``` ### `QUILT_DISABLE_USAGE_METRICS` Disable anonymous usage collection. Defaults to `False` ``` $ export QUILT_DISABLE_USAGE_METRICS=true ``` ### `QUILT_MANIFEST_MAX_RECORD_SIZE` Maximum size of a record in package manifest. **Setting this variable is strongly discouraged.** Defaults to `1_000_000`. ### `QUILT_MINIMIZE_STDOUT` Turn off TQDM progress bars for log files. Defaults to `False` ``` $ export QUILT_MINIMIZE_STDOUT=true ``` ### `QUILT_TRANSFER_MAX_CONCURRENCY` Number of threads for file transfers. Defaults to `10`. This variable could be tried for improving file transfer rate. The optimal value depends on network bandwidth, CPU performance, file sizes, etc. ``` $ export QUILT_TRANSFER_MAX_CONCURRENCY=20 ``` ### `XDG_*` Quilt uses appdirs for Python to determine where to write data. You can therefore override the following path constants with environment variables using the XDG standard (see [appdirs docs](https://pypi.org/project/appdirs/)). For instance, AWS Lambda requires the user to use `tmp/*` as the scratch directory. You can override `quilt3.util.CACHE_PATH`, so that `quilt3 install` will succeed in Lambda, by setting the `XDG_CACHE_HOME` environment variable. ## Constants (see [util.py](https://github.com/quiltdata/quilt/blob/master/api/python/quilt3/util.py) for more) * `APP_AUTHOR` * `APP_NAME` * `BASE_DIR` - Base directory of the application * `BASE_PATH` - Base pathlib path for the application directory * `CACHE_PATH` - Pathlib path for the user cache directory * `CONFIG_PATH` - Base pathlib path for the application configuration file * `OPEN_DATA_URL` - Application data url * `PACKAGE_NAME_FORMAT` - Regex for legal package names * `TEMPFILE_DIR_PATH` - Base pathlib path for the application `tempfiles` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
