The AWS CLI version 2 is the most recent major version of the AWS CLI and supports all of the latest features.
I followed the instructions here as follows: sudo yum -y update # (1) Install the latest system updates. sudo yum -y install aws-cli # (2) Install the AWS CLI. aws --version # (3) Confirm the AWS CLI was installed.
In your browser, download your specific version of the AWS CLI by appending a hyphen and the version number to the filename. Use the curl command – The -o option specifies the file name that the downloaded package is written to.
From http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html#install-with-pip
To upgrade an existing AWS CLI installation, use the --upgrade option:
pip install --upgrade awscli
On Linux and MacOS X, here are the three commands that correspond to each step:
$ 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
This does not work:
pip install --upgrade awscli
This worked fine on Ubuntu 14.04( no need to reboot also .. You would have to first install pip3 ):
pip3 install --upgrade awscli
For Ubuntu 16.04 I used parts of the other answers and comments and just reloaded bash instead of rebooting.
I installed the aws-cli using apt so I removed that first:
sudo apt-get remove awscli
Then I could pip install (I chose to use sudo to install globally with pip2):
sudo pip install -U awscli
Since I was doing this on a server I didn't want to reboot it, but reloading bash did the trick:
source ~/.bashrc
At this point I could use the new version of aws cli
aws --version
