Setting the ENV variable

You you need to set an environment variable “ENV” which indicates the account/staging area you want to work with. This parameter tells the tools which config file to use. For example if you want to set the environment variable ENV to ‘DEV’ you can do that as follows:

export ENV=DEV

Usage

To see available commands, call fink without any arguments:

$ fink
Usage:
        fink config
        fink version

Commands

config

This command is intended to provide tooling support for maintaining configuration.

The config command does the following:

• read configuration defaults
• read the config from file (‘fink_<env>.json’)
• run the lookups
• format and output the config to the console

version

If you need help please ask on the fink slack channel or open a ticket. For this it is always great if you are able to provide information about the fink version you are using. A convenient way to find out the version of your fink install provides the following command:

$ fink version
