Getting Started
This README is for the AWS CLI version 1. If you are looking for
information about the AWS CLI version 2, please visit the v2
branch.

Requirements
The aws-cli package works on Python versions:

3.7.x and greater
3.8.x and greater
3.9.x and greater
3.10.x and greater
3.11.x and greater

Notices
On 2021-01-15, deprecation for Python 2.7 was announced and support was dropped
on 2021-07-15. To avoid disruption, customers using the AWS CLI on Python 2.7 may
need to upgrade their version of Python or pin the version of the AWS CLI. For
more information, see this blog post.
On 2022-05-30, support for Python 3.6 was ended. This follows the
Python Software Foundation end of support
for the runtime which occurred on 2021-12-23.
For more information, see this blog post.
Attention!
We recommend that all customers regularly monitor the Amazon Web
Services Security Bulletins
website for
any important security bulletins related to aws-cli.

Maintenance and Support for CLI Major Versions
The AWS CLI version 1 was made generally available on 09/02/2013 and is currently in the full support phase of the availability life cycle.
For information about maintenance and support for SDK major versions and their underlying dependencies, see the Maintenance Policy section in the AWS SDKs and Tools Shared Configuration and Credentials Reference Guide.

Installation
Installation of the AWS CLI and its dependencies use a range of packaging
features provided by pip and setuptools. To ensure smooth installation,
it’s recommended to use:

pip: 9.0.2 or greater
setuptools: 36.2.0 or greater

The safest way to install the AWS CLI is to use
pip in a virtualenv:
$ python -m pip install awscli
or, if you are not installing in a virtualenv, to install globally:
$ sudo python -m pip install awscli
or for your user:
$ python -m pip install --user awscli
If you have the aws-cli package installed and want to upgrade to the
latest version, you can run:
$ python -m pip install --upgrade awscli
This will install the aws-cli package as well as all dependencies.

Note
On macOS, if you see an error regarding the version of six that
came with distutils in El Capitan, use the --ignore-installed
option:

$ sudo python -m pip install awscli --ignore-installed six
On Linux and Mac OS, the AWS CLI can be installed using a bundled
installer.
The AWS CLI can also be installed on Windows via an MSI
Installer.
If you want to run the develop branch of the AWS CLI, see the
Development Version section of
the contributing guide.
See the
installation
section of the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Configuration
Before using the AWS CLI, you need to configure your AWS credentials.
You can do this in several ways:

Configuration command
Environment variables
Shared credentials file
Config file
IAM Role

The quickest way to get started is to run the aws configure command:
$ aws configure
AWS Access Key ID: MYACCESSKEY
AWS Secret Access Key: MYSECRETKEY
Default region name [us-west-2]: us-west-2
Default output format [None]: json
To use environment variables, do the following:
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<access_key>
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret_key>
To use the shared credentials file, create an INI formatted file like
this:
[default]
aws_access_key_id=MYACCESSKEY
aws_secret_access_key=MYSECRETKEY

[testing]
aws_access_key_id=MYACCESKEY
aws_secret_access_key=MYSECRETKEY
and place it in ~/.aws/credentials (or in
%UserProfile%\.aws/credentials on Windows). If you wish to place the
shared credentials file in a different location than the one specified
above, you need to tell aws-cli where to find it. Do this by setting the
appropriate environment variable:
$ export AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE=/path/to/shared_credentials_file
To use a config file, create an INI formatted file like this:
[default]
aws_access_key_id=<default access key>
aws_secret_access_key=<default secret key>
# Optional, to define default region for this profile.
region=us-west-1

[profile testing]
aws_access_key_id=<testing access key>
aws_secret_access_key=<testing secret key>
region=us-west-2
and place it in ~/.aws/config (or in %UserProfile%\.aws\config
on Windows). If you wish to place the config file in a different
location than the one specified above, you need to tell the AWS CLI
where to find it. Do this by setting the appropriate environment
variable:
$ export AWS_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/config_file
As you can see, you can have multiple profiles defined in both the
shared credentials file and the configuration file. You can then specify
which profile to use by using the --profile option. If no profile is
specified the default profile is used.
In the config file, except for the default profile, you must prefix
each config section of a profile group with profile. For example, if
you have a profile named “testing” the section header would be
[profile testing].
The final option for credentials is highly recommended if you are using
the AWS CLI on an EC2 instance. IAM
Roles
are a great way to have credentials installed automatically on your
instance. If you are using IAM Roles, the AWS CLI will find and use them
automatically.
In addition to credentials, a number of other variables can be
configured either with environment variables, configuration file
entries, or both. See the AWS Tools and SDKs Shared Configuration and
Credentials Reference
Guide
for more information.
For more information about configuration options, please refer to the
AWS CLI Configuration Variables
topic.
You can access this topic from the AWS CLI as well by running
aws help config-vars.

Basic Commands
An AWS CLI command has the following structure:
$ aws <command> <subcommand> [options and parameters]
For example, to list S3 buckets, the command would be:
$ aws s3 ls
To view help documentation, use one of the following:
$ aws help
$ aws <command> help
$ aws <command> <subcommand> help
To get the version of the AWS CLI:
$ aws --version
To turn on debugging output:
$ aws --debug <command> <subcommand>
You can read more information on the Using the AWS
CLI
chapter of the AWS CLI User Guide.

Command Completion
The aws-cli package includes a command completion feature for Unix-like
systems. This feature is not automatically installed so you need to
configure it manually. To learn more, read the AWS CLI Command
completion
topic.
