Run the Quilt catalog on your machine. Running quilt3 catalog launches a Python webserver on your local machine that serves a catalog web app and provides required backend services using temporary AWS credentials. Temporary credentials are derived from your default AWS credentials (or active AWS_PROFILE) using boto3.sts.get_session_token. For more details about configuring and using AWS credentials in boto3, see the AWS documentation: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/configuration.html
Previewing files in S3
The Quilt catalog allows users to preview files in S3 by downloading and processing/converting them inside the Python webserver running on local machine. Neither your AWS credentials nor data requested goes through any third-party cloud services aside of S3.

Environment variables
QUILT_DISABLE_CACHE
Turn off cache. Defaults to False.
$ export QUILT_DISABLE_CACHE=true
QUILT_DISABLE_USAGE_METRICS
Disable anonymous usage collection. Defaults to False
$ export QUILT_DISABLE_USAGE_METRICS=true
QUILT_MANIFEST_MAX_RECORD_SIZE
Maximum size of a record in package manifest. Setting this variable is strongly discouraged. Defaults to 1_000_000.
QUILT_MINIMIZE_STDOUT
Turn off TQDM progress bars for log files. Defaults to False
$ export QUILT_MINIMIZE_STDOUT=true
QUILT_TRANSFER_MAX_CONCURRENCY
Number of threads for file transfers. Defaults to 10.
This variable could be tried for improving file transfer rate. The optimal value depends on network bandwidth, CPU performance, file sizes, etc.
$ export QUILT_TRANSFER_MAX_CONCURRENCY=20
XDG_*
Quilt uses appdirs for Python to determine where to write data. You can therefore override the following path constants with environment variables using the XDG standard (see appdirs docs).
For instance, AWS Lambda requires the user to use tmp/* as the scratch directory. You can override quilt3.util.CACHE_PATH, so that quilt3 install will succeed in Lambda, by setting the XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable.
Constants (see util.py for more)
