A command line interface to the Box Content API.

Getting Started Docs: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/cli/quick-start/

• Getting Started
• Usage
• Command Topics

To get started with the Box CLI, first set up a Box application using Server Authentication with JWT and download the JSON configuration file from the Configuration page of your app in the Box Developer Console. Then, set up the CLI by pointing it to your configuration file:

$ box configure:environments:add PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE
Successfully added CLI environment "default"

If you manually generated your own private key to use with JWT authentication, you will need to point the CLI to the location of your private key file:

$ box configure:environments:add PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE --private-key-path PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY --name ManualKey
Successfully added CLI environment "ManualKey"
