# Installing the environment In order for you to follow along with the workshop, you will need a few things. * Terraform * Ansible * AWS Credentials - which likely means a credit card (sorry) * Empire version 5 * A Debian based VM (workshop has Ubuntu in mind, but technically any deb based VM should work) If you already have all of this installed feel free to skip over this. If not, please follow along! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://sec565.gitbook.io/ad-privesc-with-empire/installing-the-environment.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
