Start Command Prompt, and type the following command:

aws configure

This will ask you for the Access Key, Secret Key, and Region details. If you have not downloaded the AWS keys yet, you can download them from https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?#security_credential.

Here, you can download the Access Keys and save it in a secure place. Once the keys are submitted, you can start accessing DynamoDB from the command line.

We need to list the tables that we have already created, and then we can execute this command:

aws dynamodb list-tables

The output of the following command is shown below:

We can also run the Query operations from the command line as well. Suppose that we want to Query a product table for id =5, then we have to write this condition in the JSON document and save it on our machine. The JSON file would like this:

{"id": {"AttributeValueList": [{"S":"5"}],"ComparisonOperator": "EQ" }}

Assume that we saved it in a file named conditions.json; then, to execute the query, we have to run the following command:

aws dynamodb query --table-name product --key-conditions file://conditions.json

The output would be something like this:

We can also specify conditions for the Range Key in order to narrow down our results, which is similar to what we did for the Hash Key.
