The Commands in this directory provide a simple but useful command line interface for the Egeria environment. They are built with the Rich python package and demonstrate the use of pyegeria. More detailed documentation can be found in the doc folder.

The commands can either be invoked from one of the command line interfaces or executed directly as python scripts. To invoke the commands directly, install them with pipx by invoking:

pipx install pyegeria

Some of the widgets are "live" - that is running continuously until ctrl-c is issued to interrupt it. Other widgets are paged to allow you to page through long lists of content. Paged interfaces have a similar behaviour to the unix more command - so, for example you type q to quit.

As the number of widgets has grown, they have been organized by role into different sub-directories:

• cat (catalog_user) - for users of the Egeria environment
• cli - command line interfaces to simplify finding and using the commands
• my - for visualizing work and individual items
• ops - for configuring and operating Egeria
• tech - for technical users to configure and use Egeria

The command line interfaces (CLIs) can be invoked with:

hey_egeria - provides access to all commands hey_egeria_cat - access for commands used by catalog users hey_egeria_my - access to personal information commands for all users hey_egeria_ops - access to operations commands hey_egeria_tech - access to commands for technical users

Each of these CLIs have a textual user interface (TUI) that provides a forms based approach to utilizing each command. You invoke the TUI by adding tui to the cli command. For instance:

hey_egeria_cat tui

To execute a command from the TUI type ctrl-R.

To upgrade the CLI commands you can type:

pipx upgrade pyegeria
