Assuming that you have Python and ``virtualenv`` installed, set up your environment and install the required dependencies like this or you can install the library using ``pip``:



.. code-block:: sh



    $ git clone https://github.com/boto/botocore.git

    $ cd botocore

    $ virtualenv venv

    ...

    $ . venv/bin/activate

    $ pip install -r requirements.txt

    $ pip install -e .



.. code-block:: sh



    $ pip install botocore



Using Botocore

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After installing botocore



Next, set up credentials (in e.g. ``~/.aws/credentials``):



.. code-block:: ini



    [default]

    aws_access_key_id = YOUR_KEY

    aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET



Then, set up a default region (in e.g. ``~/.aws/config``):



.. code-block:: ini



   [default]

   region=us-east-1



Other credentials configuration method can be found `here `__



Then, from a Python interpreter:



.. code-block:: python



    >>> import botocore.session

    >>> session = botocore.session.get_session()

    >>> client = session.create_client('ec2')

    >>> print(client.describe_instances())
