On the command line, python-tuskarclient implements the tuskar command.

First, be sure to run all of the steps in the Getting Started section, above, and that you have not deactivated your virtual environment.

Then, export these two environment variables, customizing them if necessary:

$ export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=nopass
$ export TUSKAR_URL=http://localhost:8585/

(Note that 'nopass' is the correct value in a default setup with no authentication.)
