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 This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.spotml.io/aws-setup.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
