question

Hi there,

Thanks for posting.

You need to edit credentials file to contain your aws credentials.

Please see the document here for the detail.

Thanks for the help. So I need to install AWS CLI to create profile? What information I should create the profile for ASK INIT for Alexa?

Hi,

You need to install AWS CLI and file aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key into your credentials file.

You don't nee to install AWS CLI, that won't help at all. Just follow the steps in the instructions you linked to, then at step 6:

1. Select "Attach existing policies directly"
2. Click "Create Policy"
3. Click the "JSON" Tab,
4. Paste the JSON from step 6
5. Click "Review Policy"
6. Name the policy
7. Click "Create Policy"

Alternatively you can use a predefined policy, such as "AWSLambdaFullAccess"
