Connecting CLI to OpenStack

To begin, get the openstack environment setup file: On the OpenStack dashboard go to compute->Access & Security-> API Access-> Download OpenStack RC File. This file sets environment variables so that the command line client(s) know how to connect to your OpenStack project. Then source the file (you will need to provide your OpenStack password) with something like

[name@server ~]$  source <project name>-openrc.sh
