Chapter 2. Fluidinfo from the Command Line
In this chapter we will use a command-line tool, Fish (the Fluidinfo Shell), to interact with Fluidinfo. Fish provides a convenient way to interact with Fluidinfo even if your primary access is programmatic or through a graphical tool such as the Fluidinfo website.
There are two versions of Fish: a convenient web-based application and a more powerful command-line version.
The online version, Shell-Fish, requires you to log in with a Google account. Once authenticated, go to your settings and enter your Fluidinfo username and password. If you haven’t done so yet, you can get these by signing up at http://fluidinfo.com/accounts/new/, as described in Signing Up for a Fluidinfo Account.
To gain the full power of Fish, you should install it on your system
by going to Github,
downloading the Python source, and following the instructions in the
README file.
