 #### Step 2, Generate code artifacts and dependencies
 To read QR/Barcodes, we are going to be using the [Zbar library](https://github.com/mchehab/zbar), an open source software suite for reading bar codes. We are going to include Zbar and other necessary packages into Lambda Layers for our Lambda function to work.

+But don't worry, we have already automated this process for you, in a simple script you can run in your AWS Cloud9! Here are the steps you have to follow:
 
-* Access AWS CloudShell, a browser-based shell inside the AWS console. You can click the terminal icon next to the search bar or looking for _Cloudshell_ in the service search bar.
+* Login into you AWS Account and access AWS Cloud9 by navigating to https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloud9control/home#/

-* Once CloudShell has initiallized, clone this repo 
-   * `git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/Barcode-QR-Decoder-Lambda.git`
+* Click on "Create environment"
+
+* Provide a name for your environment, select an instance from the t2 or t3 family and make sure to choose "Amazon Linux 2" as platform. This guarantees the correct installation of the zbar library

+* We recommend to choose "AWS Systems Manager(SSM)" in the network settings as it won't require you to open any inbound port to the EC2 instance. Do not change setting in the "VPC Settings" sections unless you need to. Finally, create the environment by clicking "Create"

 * Run the `setup.sh` script in order to generate the needed lambda layers and code package. You must specify the bucket where you want to upload this artifacts replacing <BUCKET_NAME> with the S3 bucket name you created.

+Follow these steps to create your layer:
   - Open the Layers page of the Lambda console. 
   - Choose Create layer.
   - Under Layer configuration, for Name, enter a name for your layer.
   - (Optional) For Description, enter a description for your layer.
   - To upload a file from Amazon S3, choose Upload a file from Amazon S3. Then, for Amazon S3 link URL, enter the S3 URI of the artifact.

 #### Step 5, Configure the permissions needed
 Head over to IAM and add permissions to your associated role to access your S3 Bucket.
