! Introduction
!! About Amazon Web Services
Amazon Web Services is a collection of online APIs to services that allow cloud-based applications to be built. It is a commercial service that charges usage fees, but there is a free tier that is sufficient for most personal use.
An ordinary Amazon account can be used to sign into the AWS console at https://aws.amazon.com/console/. Here you can see a menu of the available services and use interactive dashboards to inspect and configure resources.
! Getting Started
!! Setup Amazon Credentials
The main root account has super-user privileges across all the resources owned by the account. The Identity and Access Management (IAM) service allows subsidiary user accounts to be created for specific tasks. Here we create a new user account for running TiddlyWiki code:
# Visit the AWS console at https://aws.amazon.com/console/
# Choose ''IAM'' from the ''Services'' dropdown menu
# Choose ''Users'' from the left hand menu
# Click the ''Create New Users'' button
# Enter ''tiddlywiki'' as the first user name
# Check the box labelled //Generate an access key for each user//
# Click the ''Create'' button
# Click the ''Download Credentials'' button to download a file called "credentials.csv"
#* The file contains three values:
#*# ''User Name'': Username for
#*# ''Password'':
#*# ''Direct Signin Link'':
# Create a text file with the following content:
#> <div><pre><code>[default]
aws_access_key_id = &lt;your access key>
aws_secret_access_key = &lt;your secret access key>
</code></pre></div>
# Save the file as `~/.aws/credentials` (Mac/Linux) or `?` (Windows)
!! Download or Clone TiddlyWiki Repository
Even if you have already installed TiddlyWiki, you should create a new installation for working with the AWS plugin.
Visit the TiddlyWiki5 repository at https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5. You can either download or clone a copy:
* Download to get up and running quickly
* Clone to make it easier to upgrade in the future
!! Install `aws-sdk`
Open a command terminal, switch to the directory where TiddlyWiki is installed and run the following command:
```
npm install aws-sdk
```
