Limitation: Default Browser is required to authenticate

Browser is required to authenticate

When executing mdc auth the default browser on your operating system is expected to open, allowing you to authenticate to Metrics, via a log in or sign up.

If a browser is not installed or a default browser is not set, the authentication process fails and prevents further use of the DSim Cloud CLI (mdc).

Workaround

There is currently no workaround.

A browser must be installed and set as default.

macOS and Windows machines usually come with a default browser. Linux users should install their preferred browser and set it as default. There are many online articles explaining how to do this.
