• Create an AWS account. If you're new to AWS services and want to explore, I highly recommend setting up a billing alarm so that you don't incur any charges.
• Install NodeJS and npm -  https://nodejs.org/en/ - npm is installed automatically with NodeJS
• Install the AWS command line interface
• Configure AWS client: aws configure; you will be asked for access key ID, secret access key and aws region (details can be found here)
• Install the AWS CDK globally: npm install -g aws-cdk
