Multiple instances of CLI

[vreddhi]

This isnt an issue. A question/feedback.

Calling akamai get will download and install the command repository to the $HOME/.akamai-cli directory.

What if i want to have multiple separate instances of akamai CLI. As we are using $HOME here, looks like it will be shared across instances. Do you think its better to update/change to a relative path of CLI installed folder?

@vreddhi we don't anticipate needing multiple versions of the same command installed.

I had originally made akamai search the users $PATH (with $HOME/.akamai-cli added to the end) which would allow you to override commands by manipulating $PATH but it was removed in favor of simplifying.

I could see adding an AKAMAI_CLI_HOME environment variable that overrides the use of $HOME if there is justification for doing so. At the current stage of the project, where everything is brand new, and backwards compatibility breaks are non-existent, it just isn't necessary.

Do you have a use-case?
