How to use boto3 in your own system (for windows) by creating the credential file:

Step 1:

Install python and anaconda.

Step 2:

Open AWS console > Create a new user > Give programmatic access > Add policy as administrator access > Click on create user.

Step 3:

Go to your system (Anaconda should be installed) > Go to C drive > User > Open user (For me it is RASHNI) > Create a folder named ‘.aws’.

Note: It case of any such error as below, follow the below steps.

Create a folder as ‘aws’ > Open command prompt > Type ‘rename aws .aws’ (you can also create directly using mkdir).

Step 4:

Create two files as below:

Note: Type should be ‘File’ only.(Open cmd rename file to change file type too.)

Step 5:

Open credential file using notepad > Paste the below content > Give the details of the user (newly created by you)

[default]

aws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY

aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY

Note: Download the .csv file as well.

Step 6:

Open config file using notepad > Paste the below content.

[default]

region=us-east-1

output=table

Step 7:

Open ‘anaconda prompt’ > Install the latest Boto3 release via pip:

Use command : 'pip install boto3'

To check type ‘python’ > Use ‘import boto3’ (If it is not throwing any error, CONGRATULATIONS you are done!)
