Cloud Storage Sync Configuration

Step 1: Installing Python

Install a supported version of Python from the Python Windows downloads page. During installation, choose to add Python to the PATH and/or environment variables (depending on the prompt).

Step 2: Creating and Configuring a Virtual Environment

The venv Python module is a virtual environment builder that lets you create isolated Python environments. We recommend installing the CLI in a virtual environment.

Installing and Activating your Virtual Environment.

After Python is installed, set up a virtual environment for your operating system using the following steps.

1. Navigate to the directory in which you would like to create the virtual environment.
2. Create the virtual environment by running the following command:

python -m venv oracle-cli

3. Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:

oracle-cli/Scripts/activate

Step 3: Installing the Command Line Interface

You can download the CLI from GitHub or install the package from Python Package Index (PyPI).

To install using the GitHub download:

• Download and unzipoci-cli.zip.
• Run the following command.

pip install oci_cli-*-py2.py3-none-any.whl

To install using PyPI, run the following command:

pip install oci-cli

For information on how to start a CLI session, see Starting a CLI Session

Linux and Unix (Including Oracle Linux 8)

1. Open a terminal.
2. To run the installer script, run the following command.

bash -c "$(curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oracle/oci-cli/master/scripts/install/install.sh)"

Note*-To run a 'silent' install that accepts all default values with no prompts, use the--accept-all-defaults parameter.




Oracle Linux 7

If you're using Oracle Linux 7, you can use yum to install the CLI.

To use yum to install the CLI:

sudo yum install python36-oci-cli

The CLI will be installed to the Python site packages:

• /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/oci_cli
• /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/services

Documentation and examples will be installed in the/usr/share/doc/python36-oci-cli-/directory.




To uninstall the CLI:
sudo yum remove python36-oci-cli
