2. Import the jar files to a project in any one of the Java IDEs such as Eclipse, Net Beans, IntelliJ etc.

3. The above jar file has examples to upload a file to a bucket, retrieve file from a bucket, generate pre signed URL and to perform chunked upload

4. Type in the Wasabi Access Keys, bucket name and the region name in the "RunAllSamples.java" file
