Step 4 - Launch Cyberduck

Open the Cyberduck profile that was just added to your downloads folder which should automatically launch cyberduck and prefill most of your object storage details for you.

All you need to add is your Access Key ID and your Secret Access Key which are both available in the csv file that is downloaded when you create a key for your object store.
