## Step 1: Install the AWS python CLI

Follow the steps at the link below for linux:

[https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.htm](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html)l

## Step 2: Run the following commands on your VNC to install boto3

1. `pip install boto3`
2. `pip freeze`
3. check that `boto3` is actually there!
4. `python -m pip install --user boto3`

## Step 3: Integrating boto3 clients into your code

1. Create a file in your package to store your AWS credentials
2. Sign into AWS, and create an access key
3. Create an Access Policy for your services
4. Create a class that will hold your credentials, for example:

   ```python
   class Credentials:
       AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = ''
       SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = ''
       OWNER_ID = ''
   ```

   and any other information you may need to store for the service you choose to use.
5. Based on the service you’d like to use, create the appropriate client. If you’re using dynamoDB, it may look like this:

   ```python
   dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb')
   ```

   Please refer to the documentation for of the service you’d like to use and the request format

   <https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/index.html>
6. There are several helpful methods included with each service, here are some of dynamoDB’s methods for example:

   ```python
   delete_item()
   delete_table()
   put_item()
   query()
   update_item()
   update_table()
   ```

   Each method will have a unique request, so be sure to check before implementing it into your code.
7. This can be used within your node, but keep in mind how many requests you are making if you place your request in a loop.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://campus-rover.gitbook.io/lab-notebook/fiiva/ros_and_aws_integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
