How to uninstall aws-cli
I am trying to set up an "Amazon Elastic Container Registry" but I get the following error when using this command: aws ecr get-login --no-include-email --region us-west-2
:
Unknown options: --no-include-email
The manual redirects me when this occurs to go to the following page, in order to update my aws cli. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html
Which in short means, call pip install awscli --upgrade --user
. While that works, my cli is not updated. So I removed it at all pip uninstall awscli
. But I still had the aws
command available, also when I opened a new session in the terminal...
So I assume I haven't installed my aws cli via pip, but I can not figure out how it does is installed. Can anyone help me out and give me some directions to resolve this issue. So I can remove the current awscli, and install a new version via pip install awscli --upgrade --user
Solution 1:
I had a similar issue. Answering in case someone else does too. I think I had originally installed it without pip like this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/awscli-install-bundle.html. So you just need to uninstall it like this (as instructed in above link):
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/aws
$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/aws
Then you can re-install it with pip3: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-install-macos.html
Basically:
pip3 install awscli --upgrade --user
Then add it to your path
export PATH=/Users/yourname/Library/Python/3.6/bin/:$PATH
Solution 2:
On ubuntu :
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove awscli
ln -s /home/ubuntu/.local/bin/aws /usr/bin/aws
Solution 3:
Uninstall awscli.
pip uninstall awscli -y
