# Server Set-Up <small>Amazon S3</small>{: .page-header}

For this tutorial we are going to use [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) to develop
a simple server which will accept uploads from our Fine Uploader instance. If
you don't have Node.js, now's the time to [get it](http://nodejs.org/download/).

If Node.js is not your style, then feel free to browse the other
[server-side demos repository](http://github.com/Widen/fine-uploader-server).  **It's quite important for you to read
the [Amazon S3 server-side integration instructions](../endpoint_handlers/amazon-s3.html) before you do any of this,
though**.

#### Getting Started

Let's rock! First, download [express](https://npmjs.org/package/express) and the
[aws-sdk](https://npmjs.org/package/aws-sdk):

`npm install express aws-sdk`

Now let's download our server:

`wget -O server.js https://raw.github.com/Widen/fine-uploader-server/master/nodejs/s3/s3handler.js`

Then set relevant environment variables:

```bash
$ export CLIENT_SECRET_KEY = 'secret'
$ export SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY = 'not really secret'
$ export SERVER_SECRET_KEY = 'secret'
```

And let's run it!

`node server.js`

Fire up the HTML page with the client-side uploader code on it, and attempt to
upload.

Booyakosha! You are on the fast-track to upload nirvana. Continue forth in your quest to learn to integrate Fine Uploader with your application by reviewing the rest of the [documentation](../)
