Configure API Token

To confirm that LightMesh CLI has been installed, and to verify the path open terminal and run which lightmesh. This will show the install path selected in the previous step
LightMesh CLI requires an API token. This token can be generated at https://next.lightmesh.com/settings/api-keys
To create a new API key go to the above URL, click generate API key
Once a key has been created click show API key button and copy the key to the clipboard
Export this key in your terminal section by running the following command: `export LIGHTMESH_API_TOKEN={key copied to clipboard}'

Note: to persist the API key between terminal sessions this export command should be added to .bashrc or .zshrc

To verify installation and token are set correctly type lightmesh into the terminal. The LightMesh CLI version should be shown, along with usage, topic, and command details.
