What if I just want an environment to run BOSH CLI commands in and I don’t care how it all works?

  1. If you have access, visit https://environments.toolsmiths.cf-app.com/ and get yourself an environment. If you don’t have access, ask the person who’s guiding you through this learning to do it for you.
  2. Place the .json file you receive from the creation of this environment under one of the claimed directories under denver-locks. You should now have access to such commands as pcf-target if you installed the Denver tooling via denver-bash-it.
  3. If pcf-target succeeds, you should now be connected to the environment and have the ability to run BOSH CLI commands :D
