If you do not already have an AWS account, you should follow these steps to establish an account and setup a proper F1 instance for the demo application.
*[Setup an AWS Account](https://aws.amazon.com/free/)
* Launch an instance using the [FPGA Developer AMI](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B06VVYBLZZ). which comes pre-installed with SDAccel and required licenses.
* The demonstration application has been developed using Xilinx tools version 2018.3, therefore be careful to select a compatible AMI version. It should be marked as <i>v1.6.0-v1.6.X (Xilinx Vivado/SDx 2018.3)</i>
* Launch the [FPGA Developer AMI](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B06VVYBLZZ) on a compute EC2 instance, with a minimum of 30GiB RAM), **OR**
* Login to your account and select the EC2 console
* Create the proper keys to access your instance. Please follow the instructions provided [here](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ec2-api-permissions.html).
* Go back to the EC2 console and select Launch Instance.
* Launch an instance using the FPGA Developer AMI, which comes pre-installed with SDAccel and required licenses.
* The demonstration application has been developed using Xilinx tools version 2018.3, therefore be careful to select a compatible AMI version. It should be marked as <i>v1.6.0-v1.6.X (Xilinx Vivado/SDx 2018.3)</i>.
* When selecting a region to deploy the instance, choose US East (N. Virginia).
* Select the f1.2xlarge instance and keep the default configuration settings.
* Before completing the process you will be asked to create a new key pair or use an existing one. Select a new key pair and save the file \*.pem file
* Launch the instance.
* If this is the first time you launch an F1 instance, you will be prompted that you need to be granted permission to launch an EC2 f1.2xlarge instance (increase limit request to 1) in the specified region. The application process is simple and you will be granted the limit increase typically within a day from Amazon.
* Follow the [On-Premises Instructions](../hdk/docs/on_premise_licensing_help.md) to purchase and install a license from Xilinx.
* Setup AWS IAM permissions for creating FPGA Images (CreateFpgaImage and DescribeFpgaImages). [EC2 API Permissions are described in more detail](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ec2-api-permissions.html). It is highly recommended that you validate your AWS IAM permissions prior to proceeding with this quick start. By calling the [DescribeFpgaImages API](../hdk/docs/describe_fpga_images.md) you can check that your IAM permissions are correct.
*[Setup AWS CLI and S3 Bucket](docs/Setup_AWS_CLI_and_S3_Bucket.md) to enable AFI creation.
