# Oracle Cloud Install & Auth ## Overview Configure API key authentication for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). OCI auth requires a `~/.oci/config` file with **five mandatory fields** — user OCID, fingerprint, tenancy OCID, region, and the path to an RSA private key. One wrong field produces the cryptic `ConfigFileNotFound` or `InvalidKeyFilePath` error with no hint about which field failed. **Purpose:** Produce a validated `~/.oci/config` file, generate an RSA key pair, upload the public key to OCI, and verify connectivity with both the Python SDK and OCI CLI. ## Prerequisites - **OCI account** with an active tenancy — sign up at https://cloud.oracle.com - **Python 3.8+** (the OCI Python SDK is the most mature SDK) - **OpenSSL** installed (for RSA key generation) - Your **user OCID** (Profile > User Settings in the OCI Console) — format: `ocid1.user.oc1..aaaa...` - Your **tenancy OCID** (Administration > Tenancy Details) — format: `ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaa...` - Your **home region** (e.g., `us-ashburn-1`, `eu-frankfurt-1`) ## Instructions ### Step 1: Install the OCI Python SDK and CLI ```bash pip install oci oci-cli ``` ### Step 2: Generate an RSA Key Pair ```bash mkdir -p ~/.oci openssl genrsa -out ~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem 2048 chmod 600 ~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem openssl rsa -pubout -in ~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem -out ~/.oci/oci_api_key_public.pem ``` ### Step 3: Get the Key Fingerprint ```bash openssl rsa -pubout -outform DER -in ~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem | openssl md5 -c...
