AWS CLI Install with Homebrew

If you are an AWS developer, you know the importance of having the AWS CLI installed on your system. It simplifies your work by enabling you to use AWS services from your command line interface. In this guide, we'll go over how to install the AWS CLI using Homebrew.

Prerequisites

Before we can begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Homebrew
• Python 3 (version 3.6 or later)

You can check if you have homebrew installed on your system by running the following command in your terminal:

brew -v

If you don't have Homebrew installed, you can install it by running the following command:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Install AWS CLI

Once Homebrew is successfully installed, run the following command to install the AWS CLI:

brew install awscli

You can confirm the installation by running the following command:

aws --version

This should output the version of the AWS CLI installed on your system.

Configure AWS CLI

After installing the AWS CLI, you need to configure it with your AWS credentials. You can do this by running the following command:

aws configure

Here, you will need to provide your AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. You can obtain these from the AWS Management Console.

Additionally, you may set preferred region and output format using --region and --output flags, respectively.

aws configure --region <preferred region>

aws configure --output <preferred output format>

Conclusion

With the AWS CLI installed and configured on your system, you're all set to start using AWS services from your command line interface with ease!

Happy coding!
