To start off this tutorial, we have to create a new project first.

Creating a project

Use setup command with --email and --password arguments, so they will be remembered the next time you log in. These credentials are the same you use to log in to the application.

Code Block

themeMidnight
CleverMaps$ setup --email tomas.schmidl@clevermaps.io --password YOUR_PASSWORD 

Config and credentials saved successfully to /home/tomas/.cleverMaps 

Then use login command to log in to the Shell. 

Info

Please note that if you created a CleverMaps account using social login (Facebook, Google) you will not be able to use the same credentials you use for these services. In this case, you will have to generate an access token. See how to generate an access token.

Code Block

CleverMaps$ login 
Found credentials file: /home/tomas/.cleverMaps/credentials
Found config file: /home/tomas/.cleverMaps/config
	* setting /home/tomas/metadata as default dump directory

Successfully logged in as tomas.schmidl@clevermaps.io

tomas.schmidl@secure.clevermaps.io$ 

You are now connected to a server and as you can see, the context has changed to tomas.schmidl@secure.clevermaps.io. In every project you create, you automatically receive the Admin user role.

You can list all your projects with listProjects command. Chances are though, that you have no other projects there yet.

To create a project, use the createProject command. Give the project a title and optionally, a description.

Code Block
languagetext
themeMidnight
tomas.schmidl@secure.clevermaps.io$ createProject --title "First project" --description "My first project in CleverMaps"
Created project k5t8mf2a80tay2ng
Project k5t8mf2a80tay2ng (First project) successfully opened

tomas.schmidl@secure.clevermaps.io/project:k5t8mf2a80tay2ng$ 
Info

After making any changes to the project using Shell, always refresh the browser window (F5) to see the effect.

New project has been created and opened. It is uniquely identified by the generated project ID - k5t8mf2a80tay2ng. The context has changed to an opened project - /project:k5t8mf2a80tay2ng$.

Dumping the project

To start editing the project, we have to make a dump of the project to your local machine. Project dump is an image of the project in a specific time. It is uniquely identified by dump ID - a time stamp of when the dump was created (2020-06-23_17-48-00). Detailed description can be found in the dump structure article.

Our new project is empty so far - it does not contain any data or metadata. The dump which we'll create, will be an empty one, but it will serve as a base for our future work.

tomas.schmidl@secure.clevermaps.io/project:k5t8mf2a80tay2ng$ dumpProject 
Creating dump directory /home/tomas/metadata/k5t8mf2a80tay2ng/2020-06-23_17-48-00
Creating data dump directory /home/tomas/metadata/k5t8mf2a80tay2ng/2020-06-23_17-48-00/data
Creating metadata dump directory /home/tomas/metadata/k5t8mf2a80tay2ng/2020-06-23_17-48-00/metadata

Metadata dump started...

Project metadata successfully dumped to /home/tomas/metadata/k5t8mf2a80tay2ng/2020-06-23_17-48-00/metadata

Synchronous data dump started...

Project DWH data successfully dumped to /home/tomas/metadata/k5t8mf2a80tay2ng/2020-06-23_17-48-00/data

Dump 2020-06-23_17-48-00 opened and set as current

tomas.schmidl@secure.clevermaps.io/project:k5t8mf2a80tay2ng/dump:2020-06-23_17-48-00$

You can see that the dumpProject command has created the dump directories.

(lightbulb)  We recommend using a good text editor, like Notepad++ (Windows) or Atom (Windows, Linux, Mac) to manage your project dumps. It is handy to open the default dump directory, which you may have set during the installation of the Shell. You can then easily manage multiple dumps of multiple projects.
