No instruction how to set Access ID and Access Key for EgoExo4D

[isarandi]

How do you use the given Access ID and Access Key you get after approval? It's not explained in any readme or documentation I found on the website or the repo. Running egoexo --help also does not mention anything related to configuring access.

If I just run egoexo -o ./ --parts annotations metadata, I just get an exception botocore.exceptions.ProfileNotFound: The config profile (default) could not be found.

I assume I need to edit some config file or some environment variable, or some S3 profile file or something?
Thanks!

Okay, I figured it out by reading AWS docs.

Save to the ~/.aws/credentials file the following content:

[default]
aws_access_key_id=...
aws_secret_access_key=...

But it would be useful to add this to the docs somewhere.

Yes agreed, apologies for not including this detail.

You can alternatively run aws configure (pip install awscli), enter your keys and then press enter twice to use the defaults for the region name and output format.
