Training instructions reference Toolkit 0.6.87 but repo modules pinned to 0.6.19

Following the training instructions(Date Engineer - Hands-on: Setting up the Equipment Container for RMDM), I installed cognite-toolkit==0.6.87.

 

However, the training repository is pinned to:
[modules]
version = "0.6.19"

This causes cdf build to fail with:
"The version of the modules (0.6.19) does not match the version of the installed CLI (0.6.87)"

The repo notes that the modules version should not be changed manually, so we're forced to downgrade the Toolkit, but this is not mentioned in the training material.

Toolkit updates quite frequently - multiple times a week. This makes it hard to maintain training material. You can run `cdf modules upgrade` to fix this.

 

Note that we are working towards loosening the requirement that the Toolkit CLI version must match exactly your local modules, but that will not be out until v0.8 or likely v1.0 of Toolkit.

I’m on the current Data Modeling: Schema Design and Structure hands-on, using Toolkit 0.6.87. cdf build works. cdf deploy reaches cdf-fundamentals in cluster api, but the course does not provide the required client credentials / authentication setup. What is the supported authentication method for this hands-on?”

Suggest you check out the recently released getting started guide. The auth section should hopefully help you https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/deploy/cdf_toolkit/getting_started/auth
