## Cloud9 Setup > Ad blockers, javascript disablers, and tracking blockers should be disabled for > the cloud9 domain, or connecting to the workspace might be impacted. > > Make sure to actually copy values from the Cloud9 terminal, as there is no copy-on-select! - Create a [Cloud9 Environment](https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/cloud9/home?region=us-west-2) - Select **Create environment** - Name it **tracingworkshop**, and take all other defaults - When it comes up, customize the environment by closing the **Welcome tab** and **Lower work area**, and opening a new **Terminal** tab in the main work area:  - Your workspace should now look like this:  ## Set up Cloud9 IAM permissions 1. Follow [this deep link to create an IAM role with Administrator access.](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#/roles$new?step=review&commonUseCase=EC2%2BEC2&selectedUseCase=EC2&policies=arn:aws:iam::aws:policy%2FAdministratorAccess) 2. Confirm that **AWS service** and **EC2** are selected, then click **Next** to view permissions. 3. Confirm that **AdministratorAccess** is checked, then click **Next** to review. 4. Enter **tracingworkshop-admin** for the Name, and select **Create Role**  1. Follow [this deep link to find your Cloud9 EC2 instance](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?#Instances:tag:Name=aws-cloud9-tracingworkshop*;sort=desc:launchTime) 1. Select the instance, then choose **Actions / Instance Settings / Attach/Replace IAM Role**  1. Choose **tracingworkshop-admin** from the **IAM Role** drop down, and select **Apply**  >Cloud9 normally manages IAM credentials dynamically. This isn't currently compatible with >the aws-iam-authenticator plugin, so we will disable it and rely on the IAM role instead. - Return to your workspace and click the sprocket, or launch a new tab to open the Preferences tab - Select **AWS SETTINGS** - Turn off **AWS managed temporary credentials** - Close the Preferences tab  - To ensure temporary credentials aren't already in place we will also remove any existing credentials file: ``` rm -vf ${HOME}/.aws/credentials ``` - We should configure our aws cli with our current region as default: ``` export AWS_REGION="us-west-2" echo "export AWS_REGION=${AWS_REGION}" >> ~/.bash_profile aws configure set default.region ${AWS_REGION} aws configure get default.region ``` # Install Tools The necessary tooling can be installed using a script. Run: ```bash git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/reinvent2018-dev303-code cd reinvent2018-dev303-code bash ./scripts/install-tools.sh ``` This will install all required tools and download the Github repository. # Next Step Back to [Prerequisites](prerequisites.md)
