Configuration

NEMAR CLI configuration and settings.

Config File Location

OS	Path
macOS	~/.config/nemar/config.json
Linux	~/.config/nemar/config.json
Windows	~/.config/nemar/config.json

The CLI standardizes on ~/.config/nemar/config.json for every platform. On first run it performs a one-time migration: if a legacy nemar-nodejs/config.json exists at the old OS-native location (~/Library/Preferences/nemar-nodejs/ on macOS, %APPDATA%\nemar-nodejs\ on Windows, or ~/.config/nemar-nodejs/ on Linux), it is copied to the standardized path. Set NEMAR_CONFIG_DIR to override the directory.

Config Structure

The config is multi-account: a top-level activeAccount names the account in use, and the accounts map holds the per-account settings keyed by NEMAR username.

{
  "activeAccount": "johndoe",
  "accounts": {
    "johndoe": {
      "apiKey": "nemar_...",
      "apiUrl": "https://api.nemar.org",
      "username": "johndoe",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "githubUsername": "johndoe",
      "sandboxCompleted": true,
      "sandboxDatasetId": "nm099999",
      "dismissedNoticeIds": []
    }
  }
}

Use nemar auth switch [username] to change the active account. The apiUrl field defaults to https://api.nemar.org; the CLI rewrites any stored URL pointing at a retired backend to this default on startup.

Environment Variables

Environment variables override config file settings:

Variable	Description
NEMAR_API_KEY	API key for authentication
NEMAR_API_URL	API base URL (default: production)

Manual Edit
