# \[Data Connector 1.0] AWS CLI (Linux)

This guide describes how to access your data through the AWS CLI. Below you will see the steps we followed to access your data [using AWS Command Line Interface](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/)

**Step 1:** Install the Amazon AWS CLI using the instructions on this page: <https://aws.amazon.com/cli/>

**Step 2:** Once installed you need to initialize your AWS configuration by typing the following command:

```
aws configure
```

This command will ask you for your `Access Key ID`, `Secret Access Key`, and `Default region` which you can all retrieve from the Data Connector settings page on the Groups hub.&#x20;

See our [Your Credentials](/integrating-our-data-into-your-tools-via-data-connector-2.0/getting-started-with-data-connector-2.0/your-credentials.md) page for instructions how to retrieve these settings.

The `Default output format` option you can leave empty.

**Step 3:** Now you can use the CLI to retrieve a list of all files in your S3 bucket.

To list all files you can for example us the following command

```
aws s3 ls s3://your-bucket-name
```

Or use the following command to download a file to your local hard drive home directory

```
aws s3 cp s3://your-bucket-name/filename.csv ~/filename.csv
```
