In this step, you install and configure the Amazon Schema Conversion Tool. In this walkthrough, we run Amazon SCT and the data extraction agent on Windows. However, you can use Amazon SCT and data extraction agents on other supported operating systems. For more information, see [Installing the schema conversion tool](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/SchemaConversionTool/latest/userguide/CHAP_Installing.html#CHAP_Installing.Procedure) and [Installing extraction agents](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/SchemaConversionTool/latest/userguide/agents.dw.html#agents.Installing).

 **To install Amazon SCT ** 

1. Download the compressed file that contains Amazon SCT installer for Microsoft Windows from [https://s3.amazonaws.com/publicsctdownload/Windows/aws-schema-conversion-tool-1.0.latest.zip](https://s3.amazonaws.com/publicsctdownload/Windows/aws-schema-conversion-tool-1.0.latest.zip).

1. Extract Amazon SCT installer file.

1. Run Amazon SCT installer file that you extracted in the previous step.

1. Choose **Next**, accept the terms of the License Agreement, and choose **Next** again.

1. Enter the path to the folder where you want to install Amazon SCT, and choose **Next**.

1. Choose **Install**.

1. Choose **Finish** to close the installation wizard.

Now you can run Amazon SCT. Before you create a new project, make sure that you add the path to an Amazon Redshift JDBC driver in the application settings. You don’t need a JDBC driver to connect to your BigQuery project.

 **To configure driver settings in Amazon SCT ** 

1. Download an Amazon Redshift JDBC driver version 2.1.0.9 or later from [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/jdbc20-download-driver.html](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/redshift/latest/mgmt/jdbc20-download-driver.html).

1. Extract the JDBC driver from the compressed file that you downloaded.

1. Open Amazon SCT, and choose **Global settings** from **Settings**.

1. Choose **Drivers**.

1. For **Amazon Redshift driver path**, choose Browse and choose the `redshift-jdbc42-2.1.0.9.jar` file that you extracted.

1. Choose **Apply**, and then choose **OK** to close the settings window.

To access Amazon services such as Amazon S3 from Amazon SCT, you configure an Amazon service profile. An Amazon service profile is a set of Amazon credentials that includes your Amazon access key, Amazon secret access key, Amazon Region, and Amazon S3 bucket.

 **To create an Amazon service profile in Amazon SCT ** 

1. Open Amazon SCT, and choose **Global settings** from **Settings**.

1. Choose ** Amazon service profiles**.

1. Choose **Add a new Amazon service profile**.

1. For **Profile name**, enter a descriptive name for your profile.

1. For ** Amazon access key**, enter your Amazon access key.

1. For **Region**, choose the Amazon Region where you created your Amazon S3 bucket in the previous step.
