title: AWS Credentials folder location
body: <p>I am trying to install the Amazon Web Services Python SDK. I cannot find the ~/.aws/credentials folder on my machine though. </p>
  
  <p>This is the page I am using for reference: <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/developers/getting-started/python/" rel="nofollow">https://aws.amazon.com/developers/getting-started/python/</a></p>
  
  <p>It says the location on Windows should be like: C:\Users\USER_NAME.aws\credentials </p>
  
  <p>I've done pip installs for boto, boto3, and awscli. Is there something else I need to install to get a credentials folder?</p>
