-### packet
-`packet` uses `~/.config/packet.json`. This can be configured manually:

 ### ibmcloud
 `ibmcloud` uses `~/.bluemix/apikey.json`. This can be populated by downloading the apikey from the IBMCloud UI (https://cloud.ibm.com/login) or by using the IBMCloud cli (https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cli?topic=cli-install-ibmcloud-cli). This would require the user to login with the correct credentials:
