Counting files in S3 buckets and folders is harder than it should be. But here's a way to get it done using s3cmd:

1. Install S3cmd

• On Mac, brew install s3cmd
• On Windows, go here

2. From the command line, run s3cmd --configure

3. Add your credentials when prompted.

Installing Python 3.5 on Debian Jessie with pyenv

Debian Jessie does not come with the correct Python version out of the box, and instead comes with Python 2. To be able to install Python 3(.5), we have a few options. We could build and install from source, but as per Debian's website, we shouldn't do this. Instead, we will use pyenv, a tool that allows users to switch Python versions easily without breaking their system.

Installing pyenv

To install pyenv, we will use the official installer.
