Documented steps
Download the mc (or mcli) client binary for your OS from the MinIO dl site and make it executable.
Run mc alias set ALIAS ENDPOINT ACCESS_KEY SECRET_KEY with the server URL, access key, and secret key; example: mc alias set myminio https://play.min.io ACCESS SECRET.
For local MinIO use http://localhost:9000 as the endpoint; for S3 use the regional s3.amazonaws.com endpoint.
Test the connection with mc admin info ALIAS or mc ls ALIAS.
To bypass TLS verification against a self-signed endpoint, add --insecure to the alias set command.
Known gotchas
The secret key must be at least 8 characters long.
The alias is stored in the mc config file (~/.mc/config.json by default; override with --config-dir); each alias maps one endpoint+credentials pair.
Some OSes already ship a different tool named mc, in which case use the mcli binary name everywhere instead.
