The AWS CLI is an open source tool built on top of the AWS SDK for Python (Boto) that provides commands for interacting with AWS services.

Installing the AWS Command Line Interface

Requirements:

• Python 2 version 2.6.5+ or Python 3 version 3.3+
• macOS, Linux, or Unix

If you already have pip and a supported version of Python, you can install the AWS CLI with the following command:

$ pip install awscli --upgrade --user

Configuring the AWS CLI

For general use, the aws configure command is the fastest way to set up your AWS CLI installation.

$ aws configure

The AWS CLI will prompt you for four pieces of information. AWS Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Key are your account credentials.

Named Profiles

The AWS CLI supports named profiles stored in the config and credentials files. You can configure additional profiles by using aws configure with the --profile option or by adding entries to the config and credentials files.

$ aws configure --profile example

jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor.
