Windows - Installing AWS CLI

Warning

Only one version of AWS CLI can be installed at a time. If you have another version of AWS CLI installed, including a version installed by support, it must first be removed.

To install AWS CLI:

1. Download the AWSCLIV2.msi file, then move the installer to D:\bc\downloads.

2. Open a command prompt, then run the following command to extract the installer:

   msiexec /a d:\abc\downloads\AWSCLIV2.msi /qb TARGETDIR=d:\abc\software\awscli
   

3. Update your Path variable by doing the following:

   • Open the Control Panel, search for Path, then click Edit environment variables for your account.
   • Edit the Path user variable to include D:\abc\software\awscli\Amazon\AWSCLIV2.

4. Ensure your Path variable is set correctly by opening a new command prompt, then running the following command:

   aws --version
