### 2.2. Config file for credentials

The function [`remote_execute_sql`](https://www.florianfelice.com/pycof/sql/sql.html#pycof.sql.remote_execute_sql) and [`send_email`](https://www.florianfelice.com/pycof/format/format.html#pycof.format.send_email) will by default look for the credentials located at `/etc/.pycof/config.json`.

	"DB_PASSWORD": "",
	"DB_HOST": "",
	"DB_PORT": "3306",
	"DB_DATABASE": "",

	"EMAIL_USER": "",
	"EMAIL_PASSWORD": "",
	"EMAIL_SMTP": "smtp.gmail.com",
	"EMAIL_PORT": "587"
	"__COMMENT_2__": "IAM specific, if useIAM=True in remote_execute_sql",
	"CLUSTER_NAME": "",
	"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "",
	"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "",
	"REGION": "eu-west-1"
}
```

On Unix based system, run:
```bash
sudo nano /etc/.pycof/config.json
```

and paste the above json after filling the empty strings (pre-filled values are standard default values).
