Accessing CDE using the CLI

Uploading files or other assets to a Cloudera Data Engineering resource using the CLI

A resource in Cloudera Data Engineering (CDE) is a named collection of files or other assets referenced by a job, including application code, configuration files, or any other arbitrary files required by a job. A resource can also be a Python virtual environment, or a custom Docker container image.

Make sure that you have downloaded and configured the CLI client.

Make sure that you have created a resource.

Upload assets to a resource using the cde resource upload command.
The cde resource upload syntax is as follows:
```
cde resource upload [flags]
```
You can view the list of flags by running cde resource upload --help, or you can view the CDE CLI reference documentation.
note
For Python environment resources, you can only upload a requirements.txt file. Python environment resources do not support arbitrary file upload. If the local file is named something other than requirements.txt, you must add the flag --resource-path requirements.txt to the command.
Example: Upload a file resource
```
cde resource upload --name [***RESOURCE_NAME***] --local-path [***LOCAL_PATH***] [--resource-path [***PATH_IN_RESOURCE***]]
```
Use repeated local path flags, and/or */?/[a-z] wildcards, to specify multiple files. Use quotes around the local path when including wildcards, for example, --local-path "*.jar". For a single file --resource-path is used for the resource filename. For multiple files --resource-path is used for the resource directory.
Example: Upload a Python virtual environment resource
```
cde resource upload --name cde-python-env-resource --local-path ${HOME}/requirements.txt
```
Example: Upload a custom Docker container image resource
```
cde resource upload --name cde-container-image-resource --type custom-runtime-image
```
Example: Upload a file for a file resource
```
cde resource upload --name cde-file-resource --local-path /path/to/local/file
```
Example: Upload and extract archive to resource
Currently supported archive file formats are : .zip and .tar.gz
```
cde resource upload-archive --name cde-file-resource --local-path /path/to/local/file
```
Verify that the file is included in the resource by running cde resource describe --name <resource_name>.
