-h1. Checking your environment
-
-First you should "log into an Arvados VM instance":{{site.basedoc}}/user/getting_started/ssh-access.html#login if you have not already done so.
-
-Check that you are able to access the Arvados API server using the following command:
-
-notextile. <pre><code>$ <span class="userinput">arv user current</span></code></pre>
-
-If @arv user current@ is able to access the API server, it will print out the unique identifier associated with your account.  Here is an example (you will receive a different identifier):
-
-bc. qr1hi-xioed-9z2p3pn12yqdaem
-
-However, if you receive the following message:
-
-bc. ARVADOS_API_HOST and ARVADOS_API_TOKEN need to be defined as environment variables

-The unique identifier represents your identity in the Arvados system and is similar to the concept of a pointer or a foreign key.  You may de-reference (get the contents of) any identifier returned by the "arv" command using the @-h@ command line option.  For example:
+Check that you are able to access the Arvados API server using @arv user current@.  If it is able to access the API server, it will print out information about your account:
