How to install aws cli on Linux

To install the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) on a Linux machine, you can use the following steps:

  1. Install the dependencies for the AWS CLI by running the following command:
    sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip
    This installs pip, the Python package manager, which is used to install the AWS CLI.

  2. Install the AWS CLI using pip:
    pip3 install awscli --upgrade --user
    This installs the AWS CLI in the user's home directory and makes it available in the user's PATH.

  3. Verify the installation by running the aws --version command. This should display the version of the AWS CLI that you have installed.

The AWS CLI is a powerful command-line interface that allows you to interact with AWS services and automate tasks. It is an essential tool for managing and administering your AWS resources.

Note: These steps assume that you are using a Debian-based Linux distribution, such as Ubuntu, and that you have pip installed. If you are using a different Linux distribution or you do not have pip installed, you may need to use different commands to install the dependencies and the AWS CLI.
