Prerequisites

Evergreen authentication

This tool needs to talk to evergreen via the evergreen api in order to function. If you have setup the evergreen command line tool as described here, everything should be setup for the tool to function.

If for some reason the .evergreen.yml file that contains your username and api key is not in your home directory, you will need to use the --evg-config-file option to specify the location when running the command.

Evergreen Command Line Tool

The evergreen command line tool needs to be installed and available in your path to run commands. Instructions to install the evergreen command line tool can be found here.
