Issue Installing AWS CLI on Mac

Question

I got this error when installing AWS CLI:

installer: The install failed. (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. An error occurred while extracting files from the package “AWSCLIV2.pkg”.)

Answer 1

I had the file in ~/Downloads and i moved the file to ~/ and i could install it successfully.

curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.pkg" -o "AWSCLIV2.pkg"
sudo installer -pkg AWSCLIV2.pkg -target /
