+      Before you can use these tools you must populate a file and export some variables to your $SHELL.
+
+      You must create a credential file containing:
+
+      AWSAccessKeyId=<Your AWS Access ID>
+      AWSSecetKey=<Your AWS Secret Key>
+
+      Then to export the needed variables, add them to your dotfiles.
+       * On Bash, add them to `~/.bash_profile`.
+       * On Zsh, add them to `~/.zprofile` instead.
+
+      export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home)"
+      export AWS_AUTO_SCALING_HOME="#{libexec}"
+      export AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE="<Path to credential file>"
