(resolved, see my last comment on this post) Problem in installing AWS CLI (using the AWS documentation)
0
I am following the AWS documentation to install AWS CLI in local, this one: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html#install-tshoot
but at the last command I encountered a problem with the installation of AWS CLI ( the last command "sudo ./aws/install": did not succeed and here (attached) is the problem in a screenshot. What do I do in this case? should I remove the folder /usr/local/aws-cli/v2/2.11.21 ? and thanks
thanks for your response, here the steps I did:
In fact, what made me think that the installation didn't work was that when I did the command "$ aws --version", it did not work.
So I redid "sudo ./aws/install" (and got the result that I sent you in my scrrenshot)
==> But I understood that the installation was OK (since I have usr/local/aws-cli/v2/2.11.21, what I did was focus on resolving the problem of "aws --version."
Below, the steps:
$ aws --version
Result:
Command 'aws' not found, but can be installed with
sudo apt install awscli
$sudo apt install awscli
Result:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package awscli is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'awscli' has no installation candidate
OK. Just know that you have V1 of the CLI instead of V2. Both are being maintained, but you will want to make sure if you consult the reference manual, you look at V1.
still the same problem sudo aws/install --update result: Found same AWS CLI version: /usr/local/aws-cli/v2/2.11.21. Skipping install.

Solution (I did a search on the net, and according to this link : https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/561236/how-to-install-awscli-on-ubuntu-18-04) $sudo apt-get update $sudo apt-get install awscli It took me a lot of time (particularly for the second command), but it is Ok now when I do: $ aws --version

OK, thanks for the information.
