A simple Node.js application using expressjs to detect text from uploaded image file using Amazon Rekognition.

The only requirement of this application is the Node Package Manager. All other dependencies (including the AWS SDK for Node.js) can be installed with:

npm install

You need to set up your AWS security credentials before the sample code is able to connect to AWS. You can do this by creating a file named ".env" at /var/www/html/<path_of_nodeproject>/.env for Linux users and saving the following lines in the file:

key = "<your_access_key_id>"
id = "<your_secret_key>"
region = "<your_aws_region>"                 

Simply run

node expressdownload.js
