Installing the AWS CLI

The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is a command-line tool to manage and interact with your AWS services through commands on your local computer's command line. For more information, visit AWS CLI ↗

Within Bobsled, you may authenticate with the AWS CLI to interact with both Bobsled-managed Amazon S3 resources and resources within your own AWS account.

TIP :
Not sure if you have the AWS CLI installed?

• For MacOS and Linux users, open your terminal;

• For PC users, open your command prompt.

Run the command "aws --v" on your computer's command line. The output should like something like: "aws-cli/2.9.4 Python/3.11.0 Darwin/21.3.0 source/arm64 prompt/off". If you receive this output you have installed the AWS CLI.
