To fix Missing credentials in config, if using AWS_CONFIG_FILE, set AWS_SDK_LOAD_CONFIG=1 with Node, we need to add the credentials into our environment variables.

To do this, we run

$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_key_id"
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your_secret_key"

in Unix to set the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables.

We do the same thing with

> set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_key_id"
> set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your_secret_key"

on Windows.

We can also create a ~/.aws/credentials file with

[default]
aws_access_key_id = <YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID>
aws_secret_access_key = <YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
