Before running the python project, make sure you have the following pre-requisites installed:

Install AWS-CLI

brew install gimme-aws-creds

Follow the guide - Install Python

Open a terminal and navigate to your project directory. Run the following commands to download and install the pre-requisites:

# Install virtualEnv for Python
pip install virtualenv

# Create a virtualEnv for Python
virtualenv <project-name>
for ex: virtualenv s3-kafka-messages

# Activate the virtualEnv
source <project-name>/bin/activate
for ex: source s3-kafka-messages/bin/activate

# Install required components
pip install -r requirements.txt

Choose the Product account and save the credentials:

export AWS_PROFILE=Product

Adjust your inputs in the config.ini file based on your goals:

search_critirea         = entry1, entry2
search_date             = yyyy/mm/dd
search_hour             = 0-23
topics                  = topic1, topic2
enable_matched_content  = True/False

1. Navigate to the shell where you have configured the virtualEnv.

2. Activate the virtualEnv if it's not already activated by running the following command:

   source <project-name>/bin/activate
   for ex: source s3-kafka-messages/bin/activate

3. Execute the Python program:

   python search-s3-kafka-messages.py

Now, your Python script will be executed.
