title: Getting Credentials File in the boto.cfg for Python
body: <p>I'm using AWS for the first time and have just installed boto for python.  I'm stuck at the step where it advices to:</p>
  
  <p>"You can place this file either at /etc/boto.cfg for system-wide use or in the home directory of the user executing the commands as ~/.boto."</p>
  
  <p>Honestly, I have no idea what to do.  First, I can't find the boto.cfg and second I'm not sure which command to execute for the second option.</p>
  
  <p>Also, when I deploy the application to my server, I'm assuming I need to do the same thing there too...</p>
