# PythonAnywhere cli tool
`pa` is a single command to manage PythonAnywhere services.
It is designed to be run from PythonAnywhere consoles, but many subcommands can be executed directly
from your own machine (see [usage](#Usage) below).
## Installing
### On PythonAnywhere
In a PythonAnywhere Bash console, run:
pip3.10 install --user pythonanywhere
If there is no `python3.10` on your PythonAnywhere account,
you should upgrade your account to the newest system image.
See [here](https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/ChangingSystemImage) how to do that.
`pa` works with python 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 but we recommend using the latest system image.
### On your own machine
Install the `pythonanywhere` package from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pythonanywhere/).
We recommend using `pipx` if you want to use it only as a cli tool, or a virtual environment
if you want to use a programmatic interface in your own code.
## Usage
There are two ways to use the package. You can just run the scripts or use the underlying api wrappers directly in your scripts.
### Command line interface
### Running `pa` on your local machine
`pa` expects the presence of some environment variables that are provided when you run your code in a PythonAnywere console.
You need to provide them if you run `pa` on your local machine.
`API_TOKEN` -- you need to set this to allow `pa` to connect to the [PythonAnywere API](https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/API).
To get an API token, log into PythonAnywhere and go to the "Account" page using the link at the top right.
Click on the "API token" tab, and click the "Create a new API token" button to get your token.
`PYTHONANYWHERE_SITE` is used to connect to PythonAnywhere API and defaults to `www.pythonanywhere.com`,
but you may need to set it to `eu.pythonanywhere.com` if you use our EU site.
If your username on PythonAnywhere is different from the username on your local machine,
you may need to set `USER` for the environment you run `pa` in.
### Programmatic usage in your code
Take a look at the [`pythonanywhere.task`](https://github.com/pythonanywhere/helper_scripts/blob/master/pythonanywhere/task.py)
module and docstrings of `pythonanywhere.task.Task` class and its methods.
### Legacy scripts
Some legacy [scripts](https://github.com/pythonanywhere/helper_scripts/blob/master/legacy.md) (separate for each action) are still available.
