Remote Client
The remote client allows you to create model experiments using the command line instead of relying on API calls.
pip3 install -y nvidia-tao-client

The command line depends on the following environment variables:
BASE_URL
USER
TOKEN
The command line is composed of:
$ tao-client <network> <action> <args>
For example:
$ tao-client detectnet-v2 dataset-convert --id 042559ec-ab3e-438d-9c94-2cab38f76efc
You can always use –help argument to retrieve the command usage information.
To list supported networks:
$ tao-client –help
To list supported detectnet-v2 actions:
$ tao-client detectnet-v2 –help
To list detectnet-v2 dataset-convert arguments:
$ tao-client detectnet-v2 dataset-convert --help
