   This topic describes how to use the [bosh-bootloader](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-bootloader) command-line tool to set up an environment for Cloud Foundry on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and deploy a [BOSH Director](https://bosh.io/docs/bosh-components.html#director).

  ## <a id='downloads'></a> Step 1: Download Dependencies
  
  To download the required dependencies for bosh-bootloader, do the following:
  
  1. Download [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) v0.9.1 or later. Unzip the file and move it to somewhere in your PATH:
      <pre class="terminal">
  
negative.code: 
  <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> The <strong>bbl state directory</strong> contains credentials and other metadata related to your BOSH Director and infrastructure. Back up this directory and store it in a safe location.</p>
  
  To extract information from the bbl state, use `bbl`. For example, to obtain your BOSH Director address, run:
  
  ```
  bbl director-address
  ```
  
  Run `bbl` to see the full list of values from the state file that you can print. You must always run `bbl` from the state directory.
  
  For more information about the options for securing HTTP traffic into your <%= vars.platform_name %> deployment with TLS certificates, see [Securing Traffic into <%= vars.app_runtime_abbr %>](../../adminguide/securing-traffic.html).
  
  For test and development environments, you can also generate your own CA certificate and key with a tool such as [certstrap](https://github.com/square/certstrap).
  
  
  ## <a id="connect-bosh-director"></a> Step 4: Connect to the BOSH Director
  
  To connect to the BOSH Director, run:
  
  ```
  eval "$(bbl print-env)"
  ```
  
  
  ## <a id="destroy-environment"></a> Destroy the BOSH Resources
  
  You can use `bbl destroy` to delete the BOSH Director infrastructure in your AWS environment. Use this command if `bbl up` does not complete successfully and you want to reset your environment, or if you want to destroy the resources created by bosh-bootloader for any other reason.
  
  To delete load balancers only, run:
  
  ```
  bbl plan
  bbl up
  ```
  
  To delete the infrastructure, bastion, director, and load balancers, run:
  
  ```
  bbl destroy
  ```
