Installing AWSCLI in Windows Machine

I had similar issue with Windows 10 (64 bit). Python 3.5 and Python 2.7 are installed in my PC. I was getting ImportError: No module named awscli.clidriver.

Then I added %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python35\Scripts in environment path variable and removed Python 2.7 from the environment path variable. Now I can successfully use awscli.

I have created a step by step AWSCLI installation guide in this Github repository: https://github.com/arsho/installation/tree/master/awscli_installation.

Answer 3

I had to install EKS supported version and I ended up getting it to work with ignoring six:

$ pip3 install awscli --ignore-installed six

Answer 4

In my case nothing worked, untill i gave more permissions, i run aws command with a non root user

chown amzadm.root  /usr/bin/aws
chown amzadm.root -R /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
chown amzadm.root -R /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/awscli/

Answer 5

I fixed this by adding a line to the 'aws' script just before the import (line 19). So now the file reads:

sys.path.append('/Users/<username>/.local/lib/aws/lib/python2.7/site-packages/')
import awscli.clidriver

Answer 6

This work for me. In /.barshrc file

export AWS_DEFAULT_OUTPUT="json"
