Command Line Interface (CLI) is a tool used to perform all AWS operations from the command window. Here, we will use this tool to create a collection for the Rekognition service.
The system used to develop this is Windows, so we will use the CLI installer provided by AWS for this. For your OS-specific installation method, refer to the following URL:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html
Download the .msi installed from the following URL:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/awscli-install-windows.html
- Download and run the installer, then follow the onscreen steps to complete the installation. After a successful download, open Command Prompt and execute the aws --version command to check the version of AWS CLI, as shown in Figure 7.19:

- Before we use CLI to perform any operation, we need to configure it with the username, password, and region. Run the aws configure command in Command Prompt and provide the information asked for, as shown in Figure 7.20:

As we have already learned to use Raspberry Pi, its camera module, and an IR sensor in the previous chapter, we will not cover them again here.
