AWS Setup

Create IAM User & Configure CLI

Setting up AWS CLI (Windows)

This guide will walk you through the process of installing and configuring the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) on Windows.

Installing AWS CLI

  1. Download the AWS CLI MSI installer for Windows (64-bit) from the official AWS CLI website.

  2. Run the downloaded MSI installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

  3. After installation, open a new Command Prompt or PowerShell window to ensure the PATH is updated.

  4. To verify that AWS CLI is installed correctly, open a new Command Prompt/PowerShell, and run the following command:

aws --version

You should see output similar to:

aws-cli/2.x.y Python/3.x.y Windows/xx exe/AMD64

If you see the version output, AWS CLI is successfully installed! Next, you'll configure it with your IAM user credentials.
