Examples

Note: The following examples use environment variables. Use a script to create environment variables with the correct values for your environment. You can add the listed environment variables to the installation variables script. For more information, see Setting up installation environment variables.
Specify the environment variables in a script file.
custom_sw_spec_json = <The sub-software specification>
env_name = <The environment display name>
hw_spec_json = <A hardware json sub-specification>
tool_spec_json = <The environment tools json specification>
Add a package extension to a custom software specification.
cpd-cli environment create \
--display-name=${env_name} \
--hardware-specification=${hw_spec_json} \
--jmes-query="metadata.asset_id" \
--name=${env_name} \
--output=json \
--project-id=zen \
--raw-output \
--software-specification=${custom_sw_spec_json} \
