<a name="pstools-getting-set-up-cloudshell"></a>

`AWS.Tools` is pre-installed on AWS CloudShell as described in [Pre-installed software](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/latest/userguide/vm-specs.html#pre-installed-software) in the [AWS CloudShell User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/latest/userguide/). Since console credentials are automatically passed to CloudShell, a user with permissions to open CloudShell can immediately run Tools for PowerShell cmdlets without additional installation or configuration.

To use the AWS Tools for PowerShell on CloudShell, perform steps similar to the following:

1. Open the [CloudShell Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/home).

1. Run `pwsh`.

1. Run any `AWS.Tools` PowerShell commands you need such as `Get-S3Bucket`.
