Setup your AWS account with awless

If you have previously used aws CLI or aws-shell, you don't need to do anything! Your credentials will be automatically loaded by awless from the ~/.aws/credentials folder.

Otherwise, get your AWS credentials from IAM console. Then, you can either download and store them to ~/.aws/credentials (Unix) or %UserProfile%\.aws (Windows). Or, export the environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY in your shell session:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

You can find more information about how to get your AWS credentials on Amazon Web Services user guide.
