Installing and setting up MinIO Client
The MinIO Client (mc
) is a command-line tool that allows you to manage your Object Storage projects, providing a modern alternative to UNIX commands.
Before you start
To complete the actions presented below, you must have:
- Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization.
- Follow the instructions given in the official MinIO documentation to install the MinIO client (
mc
) for your OS. - Run
mc --help
to make sure it was properly installed. - Follow the instructions in the MinIO quickstart guide to add a cloud storage service:
For example, if your Scaleway Object Storage endpoint is in the
mc alias set <ALIAS> <YOUR-S3-ENDPOINT> <YOUR-ACCESS-KEY> <YOUR-SECRET-KEY> --api <API-SIGNATURE>
nl-ams
region, you can use the following command (replace the two placeholders with your access key and secret key):mc alias set s3 https://s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud <YOUR-ACCESS-KEY> <YOUR-SECRET-KEY> --api S3v4
- You should now be able to run some basic commands, e.g.:
-
List all your buckets at the endpoint you configured in the previous step, via:
mc ls s3
-
List all objects in a given bucket, via:
mc ls s3/<your-bucket-name>
-
Remove an object from a bucket, via:
mc rm s3/<your-bucket-name>/1.pdf
-
Access commands reference, via:
mc --help
