Initialize a Session

You must set up a Tapis session on each host where you will use the Tapis CLI. This is a scripted process implemented by the command tapis auth init. This is a one-time operation where you will be asked to agree to terms, select a tenant, and finally enter a username and password for that tenant.

$ tapis auth init
