How to use the program

To use the AWS S3 file compression (zip) program, follow the steps below: 

- First, we need to import our package
- Then, instantiate the class
- We may or may not need to call the `credentials` method, depending on whether `~/.aws/credentials` already exists or not
- Finally, we just need to call the `zipping_in_s3` method
The program will compress the specified files and save the compressed zip file in the specified S3 bucket.
