Install AWS CLI on Centos

 Today we will look at installing AWS CLI on Centos, i installed on one of the EC2 instances recently and will share the steps as below:

1. Download AWS CLI:

url "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"

2. Once downloaded, we need to install the zip, but first need to unzip. IN my case unzip was not installed on the host , hence i have downloaded and installed as below:

yum makecache

yum install unzip

3. Once done use unzip to unpack the downloaded bundle:

unzip awscli-bundle.zip

4. Next step is to install :

./awscli-bundle/install -b ~/bin/aws

........

You can now run: /root/bin/aws --version

Refer AWS documentation as well to get further clarity on the steps/versions
