I cannot install aws cli on mac os with pip - awscli: command not found
I tried to follow this tutorial.
This is what I did in the console:
pip3 install --user --upgrade awscli
after that, when I write:
pip3 --version
I'm getting:
pip 9.0.1 from /Users/user/Library/Python/3.4/lib/python/site-packages (python 3.4)
then I wrote:
pip3 install --user --upgrade awscli
this command downloaded awscli
and automatically added this:
# Setting PATH for Python 3.4
# The orginal version is saved in .profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
to my .profile
Later on, just to be sure, I wrote:
source ~/.profile
and then when I type:
user$ aws
-bash: aws: command not found
I restarted the terminal with no luck also.
What's the problem here?
Here are the two steps to install AWS cli on mac OSX
FIRST
Offical version
- brew install awscli
SECOND
Development version
- brew install awscli --HEAD
When "pip3 install" is called with the "--user" option, it installs the aws executable in a user-specific location. This can be one of many possible locations, but the best way to find out where is with this command:
python3 -m site --user-base
On my system, this returned:
- /Users/[myusername]/Library/Python/3.6
This directory has a "bin" subdirectory, and that is where the "aws" executable was located.
I figured this out from following:
- pip3 install --help
- https://docs.python.org/3/library/site.html#module-contents
Simple do these three steps:
curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"
unzip awscli-bundle.zip
sudo ./awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/local/bin/aws
