CLI Configuration

Once the installation completes, enter hyper config in your terminal and the CLI will prompt you for your API credential:

The credential is stored in a local configuration file $HOME/.hyper/config.json. The configuration file is similar to Docker's, with an extra section clouds.

Or you can use environment vairables HYPER_ACCESS and HYPER_SECRET to pass the access key and secret key to the CLI which will search for these environment variables before loading the configuration file.
