How do I create ~/.aws/credentials file for Up on MAC

Question

I'm developing a bot for Telegram and I am using Up to create a Lambda function for AWS. The problem is that when I want to create the function I get an error saying:

Error: Cannot find credentials, visit https://up.docs.apex.sh/#aws_credentials for help.

How do I create the ".aws" folder and the "credentials" file? Under what folder will this be saved? Is it in the same folder I created my bot?

This is on MAC.

1. First, you need to install AWS CLI for OSX using the following link. Refer the documentation for Install the AWS Command Line Interface on macOS for more details.
2. Then you need to create AWS Programmatic Access Credentials (After creating a AWS IAM User) and download the credentials. For this you need to go to the IAM section of AWS Web Console. Refer the documentation for Understanding and Getting Your Security Credentials for more details.
3. Then configure the credentials using the shell commands. Refer the documentation Configuring the AWS CLI for more details.
