Requirements

Installed jq

  brew install jq
  apt-get install jq

Install: See https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/ Why: Needed for parsing the QWS command line responses.

Installed AWS command line tools

  cd
  cd tmp
  curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.pkg" -o "AWSCLIV2.pkg"
  sudo installer -pkg AWSCLIV2.pkg -target /
  rm AWSCLIV2.pkg

Configured command line

Directory ~/.aws contains a file config

  [default]
  region = eu-central-1

Needed to have command line work reasonably

Installed json5conv

  npm install --global json5conv-cli

For more see: https://github.com/therealklanni/json5conv-cli

Why: Needed so we can use json5 files (with comments) instead of json files in the aws toolchain.

Hint: VSCodium has a language mode switch (see footer) where we can switch from JSON to JSONC (Json with comments) and then do not get the annoying syntax errors in the editor.
