cli config command not working

Question

I am using version 2 of the cli.  trying to run the aws configure command, downloaded the csv file for a new user and get the error 'Expected header "User Name" not found.  i finally got a csv download file that looks like its in the right format.  but still no good.  tried pointing at the download directory, still no good.  The command looks like this:  
  
aws configure import --csv C:\Users\system\Downloads
ew_user_credentials-1.csv

The exported CSV from AWS Console did not include the **User Name** column.  
The solution is to edit the CSV file and add the **User Name** column as follows:  
  
User Name,Access key ID,Secret access key  
yourUserName,yourKeyId,yourSecretAccessKey  
  
Then run the command with the "file://" prefix to the file path.  
You should expect to see the successful output.  
  
$ aws configure import --csv file://your_credentials.csv  
Successfully imported 1 profile(s)

I haven't tried this myself but you may need to specify that it's a "file" that you are passing the command. Have you tried something like:  
  
aws configure import --csv file://C:\Users\system\Downloads
ew_user_credentials-1.csv
