What is AWS-cli?
AWS-CLI is a comand line tool that helps you manage your bucket from a command line. That’s right! once configured you can push and delete your files from your S# bucket via command line.
How do I install it?
Since this is built in python,weel, first you have to have python installed. To check that and see it’s version
python --version
Then Download the installer:
curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"
if you don’t have curl installed install it!
Then unzip the archive:
unzip awscli-bundle.zip
To install just do:
sudo ./awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/local/bin/aws
That is all, you now have aws-cli installed. Configuring and using it is another story for another post.
