Hi Thomas, Sorry to hear you are still having difficulties. The AWS environment variables for storing access keys are

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID

and

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-envvars.html. For how to make your shell run commands at startup you could use .bashrc or .zshrc, depending on your shell of course. I am not sure that this is the correct forum for general questions on a shell development environment, or that we are the correct people to help with that.
