Getting Started with the Command Line Tools

Topics

The following sections describe how to set up your Amazon EC2 environment for use with the Amazon EC2 command line tools (also called the API tools or the CLI tools).

The command line tools (API tools) are available as a ZIP file in the Amazon EC2 API Tools. These tools are written in Java and include shell scripts for both Windows and Linux/UNIX/Mac OSX. The ZIP file is self-contained; no installation is required. Simply download the file and unzip it.

[Note]Note

To start using the AWS Management Console to manage your Amazon EC2 environment, follow the procedures in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Getting Started Guide.
