# AWS CLI (Linux)

This guide describes how to access your data through the AWS CLI. Below, you will find the steps you can follow to access your data [using the 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 `AWS Access Key ID`, `AWS Secret Access Key`, and `AWS Region` which you can all retrieve from [Your credentials](/integrating-our-data-into-your-tools-via-data-connector-2.0/getting-started-with-data-connector-2.0/your-credentials.md).&#x20;

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

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

To list all files, for example, use 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
```
