-The computer used to deploy Apache Metron will need to have [Ansible](https://github.com/ansible/ansible), Python, Maven, SSH, and Git installed. Any platform that supports these tools is suitable, but the following instructions cover only Mac OS X. The easiest means of installing these tools on a Mac is to use the excellent [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) project.

+### Amazon Web Services
-### Create User
+If you already have an Amazon Web Services account that you have used to deploy EC2 hosts, then you should be able to skip the next few steps.
-1. Use Amazon's [Identity and Access Management](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/) tool to create a user account by navigating to `Users > Create New User`.
+1. Head over to [Amazon Web Services](http://aws.amazon.com/) and create an account. As part of the account creation process you will need to provide a credit card to cover any charges that may apply.
-2. Grant the user permission by clicking on `Permissions > Attach Policy` and add the following policies.
+2. Create a set of user credentials through [Amazon's Identity and Access Management (IAM) ](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/) dashboard. On the IAM dashboard menu click "Users" and then "Create New User". Provide a name and ensure that "Generate an access key for each user" remains checked. Download the credentials and keep them for later use.
- ```
- AmazonEC2FullAccess
- AmazonVPCFullAccess
- ```
+3. While still in [Amazon's Identity and Access Management (IAM) ](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/) dashboard, click on the user that was previously created. Click the "Permissions" tab and then the "Attach Policy" button. Attach the following policies to the user.
+
+ - AmazonEC2FullAccess
+ - AmazonVPCFullAccess
+
+4. Apache Metron uses the [official, open source CentOS 6](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00NQAYLWO) Amazon Machine Image (AMI). If you have never used this AMI before then you will need to accept Amazon's terms and conditions. Navigate to the [web page for this AMI](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00NQAYLWO) and click the "Continue" button. Choose the "Manual Launch" tab then click the "Accept Software Terms" button.
-3. Create an access key for the user by clicking on `Security Credentials > Create Access Key`. Save the provided access key values in a safe place. These values cannot be retrieved from the web console at a later time.
+Having successfully created your Amazon Web Services account, hopefully you will find that the most difficult tasks are behind us.
