About Tutorial

This tutorial is written for anyone interested in extending available computational resources via Amazon Web Services in the Trans-Proteomics Pipeline. It will walk the user through the steps of using TPP's Petunia web interface to setup proper Amazon credentials and submit multiple searches on AWS. Readers should already familiar with the TPP's web interface and usage.

System Requirements and TPP Versions

In order to execute this tutorial you must have already installed TPP (version 4.6.3 or greater) on a Windows system. You may also need to install amztpp, the command line tool for managing Amazon Web Services resources used by TPP. Guides for installing both are available at:

Getting Your Amazon Credentials

In order for the TPP to have access to Amazon Web Services you must provide your AWS credentials confirm that you are who you say you are and that you do have permissions to do what you are trying to do. These credentials are known as Amazon's access and secret key. These keys are used to make secure REST or Query protocol requests to any AWS service API.

You can create new keys using the Amazon Security Credentials page. Your access keys are displayed under the Access Keys section in the Credentials Section of the page. Secret keys are now no longer displayed. If you've previously created a access/secret key pair and have forgotten what the secret key is you will need to generate a new key pair. For more information about setting up your AWS credentials please see Where's my secret access key?

Registering Your Amazon Credentials in TPP

Log into Petunia web interface of TPP by double-clicking on the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline flower icon on your Desktop or through the Start menu. Alternatively, you can open a browser window into the following URL: http://localhost/tpp-bin/tpp_gui.pl .
