AWS Account | AWS CLI | AWS CLI Profile | Amazon Developer Account | ASK CLI | ASK CLI Profile | Deploy a Skill
If you are here it means that you have:
✓ An AWS Account (if not, follow the guide to Create a new AWS Account)
✓ The AWS CLI Installed (if not, follow the guide to install AWS CLI)
✓ An Amazon Developer Account (if not, follow the guide to Create a new Amazon Developer Account)
✓ The ASK CLI Installed (if not, follow the guide to install ASK CLI)
In this step, we will initialize a new ASK Profile and configure to be mapped to your Amazon Developer Account and the AWS CLI Profile created earlier.
The first time you use ASK CLI, you must call the init command to initialize the tool with your Amazon developer account credentials. For more information, see init command.
You will be prompted to name your profile, choose an AWS profile to use, and to log in to your Amazon developer account. Once the initialization is complete, you can use ASK CLI to manage your skill.
Note that by default, the ASK CLI will attempt to configure a name-less default profile for you. In this guide we will be configuring a named profile.
On the Terminal, execute the following command:
$ ask init
