# AWS - Installation
|
|
|
|
### Installing Node.js
|
|
|
|
Serverless is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) CLI tool so the first thing you need to do is to install Node.js on your machine.
|
|
|
|
Go to the official [Node.js website](https://nodejs.org), download and follow the [installation instructions](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) to install Node.js on your local machine.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Serverless runs on Node v4 or higher.
|
|
|
|
You can verify that Node.js is installed successfully by running `node --version` in your terminal. You should see the corresponding Node version number printed out.
|
|
|
|
### Installing the Serverless Framework
|
|
|
|
Next, install the Serverless Framework via [npm](https://npmjs.org) which was already installed when you installed Node.js.
|
|
|
|
Open up a terminal and type `npm install -g serverless` to install Serverless.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g serverless
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the installation process is done you can verify that Serverless is installed successfully by running the following command in your terminal:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
serverless
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To see which version of serverless you have installed run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
serverless --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Setting up AWS
|
|
|
|
To run serverless commands that interface with your AWS account, you will need to setup your AWS account credentials on your machine.
|
|
|
|
[Follow these instructions on setting up AWS credentials](./credentials.md)
