Replacing awscli v1 with awscli v2 on Windows 10

0

I have awscli version 1.27.115 using pip. My python version is 3.9. I want to update it to awscli v2. All the links on AWS mention to remove it from Add / Remove panel and then install awscliv2 but I don't see AWS Command Line in the Control Panel Add / Remove programs. How can I proceed? Also, I can't use msi to install awscliv2 as msi requires admin access and I don't have admin on the machine. I will have to use pip to do so.

One other piece of information - I have awscli version installed in 2 places

I have python in two places - H:\Software\Python3.9 - version 3.9.7

C:\Software\Python3.9 - version 3.9.13 and C:\Utilities\venvs39\gluevenv is virtual env from C:\Software\Python3.9

H:\Software\Python3.9>where aws

C:\Utilities\venvs39\gluevenv\Scripts\aws C:\Utilities\venvs39\gluevenv\Scripts\aws.cmd

H:\Software\Python3.9\Scripts\aws H:\Software\Python3.9\Scripts\aws.cmd

I think I will have to remove the awscliv1 from both the places.

Can I remove awscli v1 using pip uninstall and then install v2 again using pip install?

Thanks

Yes, you can unistall AWS CLI v1 using the following command:

pip3 uninstall awscli

or

pip uninstall awscli

More information about uninstalling AWS CLI v1 on the following documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/v1/userguide/install-windows.html#awscli-install-windows-pip:~:text=Uninstall%20the%20AWS%20CLI%20version%201%20using%20pip

After it has been uninstalled, then you can install AWS CLI v2 using the following instructions: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html#:~:text=Install%20or%20update%20the%20AWS%20CLI

    When I did pip uninstall awscli, it uninstalled only from one location and then when I tried to execute that again, hoping, it will uninstall from the second location, it gave error. But, if I tried was --version, it didn't work either. So, I just physically deleted the folders from the second location to remove awscli completely. To install awscliv2 on Windows, the 'pip install awscliv2' doesn't seem to work. I doesn't give any error, but that doesn't actually get installed either. We don't have admin accesses on our machines and psi requires admin access. I worked with our desktop team, to get awscliv2 installed on my windows vdi.
