-[AWS Cloud9](https://aws.amazon.com/cloud9/) is a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) that lets you write, run, and debug code with just a browser. AWS Cloud9 includes a code editor, debugger, and terminal. It also comes prepackaged with essential tools for popular programming languages and the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) preinstalled so that you don’t have to install files or configure your laptop for this lab. Your AWS Cloud9 environment will have access to the same AWS resources as the user with which you signed in to the AWS Management Console.
+If a terminal is not available at the bottom left side of your screen, please open a new one like the following picture indicates.
 
-### To set up your AWS Cloud9 development environment:

-2. There would be an environment ready to use under **Your environments**.
+Then run the command `aws sts get-caller-identity` just to verify that your AWS credentials have been properly configured.
 
-3. Click on **Open IDE**, your IDE should open with a welcome note.

-- **File explorer**: On the left side of the IDE, the file explorer shows a list of the files in your directory.
-  
-- **File editor**: On the upper right area of the IDE, the file editor is where you view and edit files that you’ve selected in the file explorer.
-  
-- **Terminal**: On the lower right area of the IDE, this is where you run commands to execute code samples.
