I'm following this guide of creating aws environment. Now after I created my environment I want to ssh to the ec2.
What I need is to create private-public key pair, which I don't know how.
at the beginning of the guide, it tells:
Generate public key from private key
ssh-keygen -y -f ~/.ssh/pemfile/mumbai.pem
But how I create a mumbai.pem file on my host?
Is there a command to download create this pem, or I need to download it from aws?
I'm really new with aws, I hope this is not too obvious.

If you are using Windows, use Putty and Pageant. Linux, that command will probably work.

But, when you create the ec2 instance, it gives you the key though. Make sure port 22 is open through VPC for SSH. 3389 for RDP. So, you don’t need to make a key. It will give you one, you just need to remember to save it.

Just run ssh-keygen and it should prompt you for details on where to create the key. Just note: If you run this command on your local machine, it will generate both the public key and the private key. In this case, you will need to Import Your Own Public Key to Amazon EC2. This method works better for terraform as you can put the text value output of your public key into the aws_key_pair resource easily.
If you create the key via the ec2 console, AWS will keep the public key in the system automatically and your browser will download the private key. See Creating a Key Pair Using Amazon EC2. (this second approach will save you having to upload it to ec2 keypairs). This method also works with the aws_key_pair resource, however you'll have to import the existing resource into terraform. It's simpler to use the first approach.
If you're doing it all via terraform, check out aws_key_pair
