GOAL

Here are some step-by-step instructions to use Anypoint-CLI with a connected app.

PROCEDURE

1. Download Anypoint CLI: https://docs.mulesoft.com/anypoint-cli/4.x/install
2. Create a connected app and get the client ID and client secret:
3. In Anypoint Platform, navigate to Access Management -> Connected Apps
4. Click on "Create app"
5. Enter a name for the App.
     
6. Choose "App acts on its own behalf (client credentials)"
7. Hit "Next" on the dialog and select the Environments for this app to have permission to access these scopes.
8. Finally, click "Add Scopes" to exit the dialog and then click on "Save"
   Example:

12. Open a command prompt or terminal and set the client ID and client secret environment variables.

• Open a command prompt or terminal and set the client ID and client secret environment variables as per documentation: https://docs.mulesoft.com/anypoint-cli/4.x/auth#env-variables
• Here are some example commands below. Replace yourclientid, yourclientsecret, and myOrgId (get myOrgId from Access Management - Business Groups - settings - Business Group ID).

export ANYPOINT_CLIENT_ID=yourclientid
export ANYPOINT_CLIENT_SECRET=yourclientsecret
export ANYPOINT_ORG=myOrgId

•  Alternatively, you can create a credentials file using this guide: https://docs.mulesoft.com/anypoint-cli/4.x/auth#credentials-file
• Note for Windows users: For Windows 10, if you use a credentials file make sure there's no file extension because Windows Notepad automatically appends .txt when you save the file as credentials.txt, so you have to rename it to credentials:
  
  
  When you set the environment variable in Windows set ANYPOINT_PROFILE value in the User variables section:
  
• After you finish the steps to add your credentials, open a command prompt or terminal and validate that it is installed: https://docs.mulesoft.com/anypoint-cli/4.x/install#view-core-version
