Activity 1: Prepare the environment

Create the database in the DTXS server

Ask your server administrator to create a database for this use case. We will be using database named test-db.

Get your authentication credentials

You will need clientId, clientSecret, userName and userPassword. Ask your server administrator if you do not have these.

Download and configure the DTXS client

To run commands from this tutorial, you will need the DTXS client and Python. Follow this tutorial to download and configure it.

Check access to Aquila Twinlab

In some situations, you will work with the Aquila Twinlab tool. Ask your server administrator for the URL to access this tool and try to log in with your userName and userPassword.

Note This step is not mandatory now. If needed, you can continue working without Aquila Twinlab and get the access later.

Conclusion

You have prepared the environment to interact with the server through the command line interface and through the web-based tool.

If everything works, you can continue to the Next activity: Plan the task.
