While setting up the EC2 access, it seems I need two files, the private key and ec2 certificate.

$ export EC2_PRIVATE_KEY=~/.ec2/pk-HKZYKTAIG2ECMXYIBH3HXV4ZBZQ55CLO.pem 
$ export EC2_CERT=~/.ec2/cert-HKZYKTAIG2ECMXYIBH3HXV4ZBZQ55CLO.pem 

However, I did not find anywhere I could download or create the key.

from the documentation:

The command line tools need access to the private key and X.509 certificate you generated after signing up for the Amazon EC2 service.

I probably missed that, Is it possible to generate it again
