AWS CLI

The unified command line interface for managing and automating all AWS services from your terminal.

Install

curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.pkg" -o "AWSCLIV2.pkg" && sudo installer -pkg AWSCLIV2.pkg -target /
$

A Python-based command line tool that exposes the entire AWS API through a single binary, so you can manage and script services like S3, EC2, and IAM without the web console. Commands follow an aws <service> <subcommand> pattern (for example aws s3 ls), with credentials and regions set via aws configure, environment variables, profiles, or IAM roles. Reach for it whenever you need to automate or query AWS from a shell or CI pipeline.
