-This tutorial describes how to upload data to the Arvados file storage system, Keep. This example uses a freely available TSV file containing variant annotations from "Personal Genome Project (PGP)":http://www.personalgenomes.org subject "hu599905":https://my.personalgenomes.org/profile/hu599905 and demonstrates how to use @arv-put@ to add it to Keep.

-# Begin by installing the "Arvados Python SDK":{{site.baseurl}}/sdk/python/sdk-python.html on the system from which you will upload the data (such as your workstation, or a server containing data from your sequencer). This will install the Arvados file upload tool, @arv-put@. Alternately, you can log into an Arvados VM (instructions for "Unix":{{site.baseurl}}/user/getting_started/ssh-access-unix.html#login or "Windows":{{site.baseurl}}/user/getting_started/ssh-access-windows.html#login) and skip to step 4).
-# On system from which you will upload data, configure the environment with the Arvados instance host name and authentication token as decribed in "Getting an API token.":{{site.baseurl}}/user/reference/api-tokens.html
-# Check to see if @arv-put@ is installed correctly by putting an empty file. If you receive an error such as "ARVADOS_API_HOST is not set", your environment is not properly configured.
