Install BCE-CLI

To make it easier for users to leverage network service APIs, Baidu AI Cloud provides the ability to call VPC services using the BCE Command Line Interface (CLI), which is built on the BCE Python SDK.

Prerequisites

• The BCE CLI is developed based on Python 2.7. Install the corresponding Python 2.7 according to OS. Currently, Linux is supported.

   Plain Text Copy

   1# Ubuntu
   2$ sudo apt-get install python python-dev python-setuptools python-pip
   3
   4# Redhat
   5$ sudo yum install python python-dev python-setuptools python-pip

   Note:After installing Python, please first execute Python -V to check the Python version information, ensuring that the Python version is 2.7 or later. Users of Baidu AI Cloud BCC CentOS 6.5 system can use the BCC CentOS 6.5 Image-Specific CLI. Refer to the later section for detailed installation steps.

2. Install BCE CLI. Enter [CLI download address](BOS/Peripheral Tools/Download Zone.md), and under BOS CLI, select the appropriate toolkit for your OS.

   Under Linux environment,
