Set Up Euca2ools

Eucalyptus provides a command-line interface (CLI), called Euca2ools. The remainder of this guide uses Euca2ools. These tools conform to the command-line tools that Amazon distributes as part of their EC2 service (EC2 tools).

Tip

You can use either help pages or man pages to view information about Euca2ools commands and associated options. To see a help page, enter <commandName> --help. To see a man page, enter man <commandName>. For example, to get help for the euca-bundle-images command, enter either euca-bundle-image --help or man euca-bundle-image.
