# AWS Setup ### Step 0: Setup AWS credentials (one time) SpotML uses your AWS credentials to manage the runs for you. You can verify that you have the credentials setup if you see the contents of `~/.aws/credentials` to be something like below. ``` [my-aws-profile] aws_access_key_id = your_aws_access_key_id aws_secret_access_key = your_aws_secret_access_key ``` Secondly, the above `access key` IAM user needs to have the permissions to create all the aws resources. If you are new to AWS, configure your aws cli by going through this [setup guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-quickstart.html). ### Step 1: Install spotml cli (one time) ``` pip install spotml --upgrade ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
