Running AWS Command Line Interface using Jenkins installed through Docker: command not found?

Question

When running aws from Jenkins pipeline I have the following error message: command not found - which aws returns command not found.

By other hand, when running aws from a single job it works - which aws returns /usr/local/bin/aws.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Thank you.

You still need to install the AWS CLI inside the docker container.

# Swap to root user to install AWS CLI then switch back to jenkins user
USER root
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y awscli
USER jenkins
