Before using Thunder Compute, you need to authenticate your account.

​
Log In

Run the following command to authenticate the CLI: 
tnr login
Your browser will open automatically to complete authentication via OAuth. To use a token instead, press T during login to enter a token generated from the console.

​
Log Out

To remove your stored credentials: 
tnr logout
This deletes the token file from your machine.

​
Programmatic Authentication

For scripts and automation, set the TNR_API_TOKEN environment variable: 
export TNR_API_TOKEN=your_token_here

​
Managing API Tokens

API tokens authenticate your CLI and extension access. You can manage them in the console.
  • Generate tokens: Create new tokens for each device or use case
  • Revoke tokens: Remove access for specific tokens without affecting others
  • Token persistence: Tokens never expire unless manually revoked
Use unique tokens for each device so you can revoke access individually if needed.

​
Adding a Payment Method

Before creating instances, you need a payment method on file. Visit the billing settings to add a credit card.
