The AWS-CLI is an open-source tool built on top of the AWS SDK for Python (Boto) that provides commands for interacting with AWS services. With minimal configuration, you can start using all the functionalities provided by AWS Management.

This page explains how to install the AWS-CLI v2. If you want to follow the installation procedure for v1, refer to the official [AWS-CLI documentation page](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/v1/userguide/cli-chap-install.html) for more information. Furthermore, you must install the `awscli-plugin-endpoint` to allow the AWS-CLI v1 to interact with Scaleway Object Storage.

How to install the AWS-CLI

  1. Follow the official AWS CLI installation instructions to download and install the tool according to your environment.

  2. Create the file ~/.aws/config by running the following command:

    aws configure

  3. When prompted, enter the following elements:

    • your API access key
    • your API secret key
    • your preferred default Object Storage region (fr-par, nl-ams, pl-waw, it-mil)
    • json as the default output format

  4. Open the ~/.aws/config file in a code editor and edit it as follows:

    [default]
region = nl-ams
output = json
services = scw-nl-ams

s3 =
  max_concurrent_requests = 100
  max_queue_size = 1000
  multipart_threshold = 50 MB
  # Edit the multipart_chunksize value according to the file sizes that you
  # want to upload. The present configuration allows to upload files up to
  # 10 GB (1000 requests * 10 MB). For example, setting it to 5 GB allows you
  # to upload files up to 5 TB.
  multipart_chunksize = 10 MB

[services scw-nl-ams]
s3 =
  endpoint_url = https://s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud
    Set the `endpoint_url` and `region` corresponding to the geographical region of your bucket (`fr-par`, `nl-ams`, `pl-waw`, `it-mil`).

  5. Optionally, you can also configure additional profiles by adding new blocks under [default]. For example, you can add a second profile, [profile two], to set a different region and services from your default one:

    [default]
region = nl-ams
services = scw-nl-ams

[profile two]
region = fr-par
services = scw-fr-par

  6. Configure additional services by adding a new block after [service scw-nl-ams]. For example, you can create a second services block called [services scw-fr-par], as shown below:

    [services scw-fr-par]
s3 =
  endpoint_url = https://s3.fr-par.scw.cloud
  max_concurrent_requests = 100
  max_queue_size = 1000
  multipart_threshold = 50 MB
  # Edit the multipart_chunksize value according to the file sizes that you
  # want to upload. The present configuration allows to upload files up to
  # 10 GB (1000 requests * 10 MB). For example, setting it to 5 GB allows you
  # to upload files up to 5 TB.
  multipart_chunksize = 10 MB
s3api =
  endpoint_url = https://s3.fr-par.scw.cloud

  7. Open the ~/.aws/credentials file and create other profiles by adding a block to indicate their credentials as follows:

    [default]
aws_access_key_id=<ACCESS_KEY>
aws_secret_access_key=<SECRET_KEY>

[two]
aws_access_key_id=<ACCESS_KEY>
aws_secret_access_key=<SECRET_KEY>
    The profile names from the configuration file (here, `[profile two]`) and from the credentials file (here, `[two]`) must be identical.

  8. Run the following command to test your AWS CLI installation:

    aws s3 ls

    A list of your buckets in the region specified in your profile displays.

    Use the `--profile` option if you want to test it using a different profile. Remember to replace `two` with the name of your profile. ``` aws --profile two s3 ls ```

Refer to the official documentation for more information on how to configure and manage your AWS CLI v2 settings and credentials.
