The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a set of tools AWS provides to allow you to administer your AWS cloud infrastructure and other services in the command line on Windows, Mac and Linux. Installing them is quick and easy. Here is a quick guide to get you started.
The official website for the AWS CLI tools (https://aws.amazon.com/cli/) offers installers for Windows and Mac only. On Amazon Linux, which is a member of the RHEL/CentOS/Fedora family, the tools come preinstalled. What if you don’t want to run Amazon Linux just so you can have the CLI tools? Install them.
