This issue is because of you didn’t provide aws credentials.  
So first provide credentials either by awscli tool or using environmental variables.  
By awscli tool, run these two command in terminal…  
#pip3 install awscli  
#aws configure  
As you run 2nd command, it ask for access key, secret key etc.  
Give those and run your fille again.  
Hope this help…
