  12
  13 If @arv user current@ is able to access the API server, it will print out information about your account.  Check that you are able to access the Arvados API server using the following command:

  15 <notextile>
  16 <pre><code>$ <span class="userinput">arv user current</span>
  17 {
  18  "href":"https://qr1hi.arvadosapi.com/arvados/v1/users/qr1hi-xioed-9z2p3pn12yqdaem",

  40 However, if you receive the following message:
  41
  42 bc. ARVADOS_API_HOST and ARVADOS_API_TOKEN need to be defined as environment variables
  43
  44 Then follow the instructions for "getting an API token,":{{site.baseurl}}/user/reference/api-tokens.html and try @arv user current@ again.
  45
  46 Once you are able to access the API server, you are ready proceed to the first tutorial: "Storing and retrieving data using Arvados Keep.":{{site.baseurl}}/user/tutorials/tutorial-keep.html
