# AWS CLI S3 Upload

If you are unfamiliar with S3, this article will detail step-by-step how to upload files to S3 for import into Polaris via the AWS CLI. Each step contains a link directly to the relevant AWS help page for further instructions.

1. [Download and install the AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html) for your platform
2. [Configure the CLI's credentials (access key ID and secret access key) and region](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-quickstart.html) according to the details provided by your Customer Success Manager (leave the "Default output format" the default value by pressing enter when presented with that prompt)
3. [Upload each local file to S3 using the s3 cp command](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-services-s3-commands.html#using-s3-commands-managing-objects-copy), specifying the local file path as the `source` and the S3 URL provided by your Customer Success Manager as the `target` (e.g., `aws s3 cp marketing_com.company.app.csv s3://metricworks-client-upload-share/company/marketing_com.company.app.csv`)
