To set up and authenticate with the CLI, run the following command: 
porter auth login
This command will automatically set a project ID and a cluster ID in your default configuration file, if you have a project and cluster. You can always view your default configuration by running porter config. You can see all projects that you have access to by running: 
porter projects list
And you can set a project via: 
porter config set-project [PROJECT_ID]
Next, you can see all clusters that you have access to via: 
porter clusters list
And similarly, you can set the cluster: 
porter config set-cluster [CLUSTER_ID]
