 These keys give the ec2 API tools authorization to do things in the Amazon cloud.  Don't worry: the "kluster" tools won't magically start creating things in the cloud without your knowledge.  It will be obvious when you are creating nodes and so on.

Getting your Amazon Web Services (AWS) keys set up.

In the kluster directory, type cat vars.sh. You should see output like the following:

# cat vars.sh
<snip>
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=A_USE_YOURS_HEREJN7Q
export AWS_SECRET_KEY=PFAcYUSER_YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HEREfdasfdsETO
<snip>

These are just placeholders for your AWS key. This is something associated with your AWS account. If you don't have an AWS account already, create one at [http://aws.amazon.com/].
* Go to the "console" at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/].
* Click your name on the top right, and click "Security Credentials"
* Go to the "Access Keys" tab (this should be the default)
* Put your Access Key Id after AWS_ACCESS_KEY= in vars.sh
* Put your Secret Access Key after AWS_SECRET_KEY= in vars.sh
Remember not to put a space after the equals sign (you knew this, right?)

These keys give the ec2 API tools authorization to do things in the Amazon cloud. Don't worry: the "kluster" tools won't magically start creating things in the cloud without your knowledge. It will be obvious when you are creating nodes and so on.

Now, source this file in your shell:

. vars.sh

We assume your shell is bash or something similar such as dash, or this won't work correctly. If you're using c shell or k shell-- you're not in Kansas any more! The file vars.sh basically contains the things required for Amazon's ec2 API tools to work, plus sets your path. Next, type
