03. Quick Toolkit Configuration

There are only a handle of options that need to be enabled to be able to access public data in the cloud. To start the configuration, please run:

vdb-config -i

You will see a screen where you operate the buttons by pressing the letter highlighted in red, or by pressing the tab-key until the wanted button is reached and then pressing the space- or the enter-key.

1. You want to enable the "Remote Access" option on the Main screen.
2. Proceed to the "Cache" tab where you will want to enable "local file-caching" and you want to set the "public user-repository".The repository directory needs to be set to an empty folder. This is the folder where prefetch will deposit the files.
3. Go to your cloud provider tab and accept to "report cloud instance identity".

The cloud instance identity only reports back in what cloud (AWS v GCP) you are working so you can access data for free.
