Here are the steps needed to install the AWS CLI on:
- Linux
- You must be able to extract or "unzip" the downloaded package. If your operating system doesn't have the built-in
unzipcommand, use an equivalent. - The AWS CLI version 2 uses
glibc,groff, andless. These are included by default in most major distributions of Linux. - We support the AWS CLI version 2 on 64-bit versions of recent distributions of CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Amazon Linux 1, Amazon Linux 2 and Linux ARM.
- Because AWS doesn't maintain third-party repositories, we can’t guarantee that they contain the latest version of the AWS CLI.
- Mac
