HOWTO Install AWS CLI on Debian

1. installing pre-reqs

sudo apt-get install python python-pip

2. installing the cli:

sudo pip install awscli

3. configuring the cli:

aws configure

This will create the following configuration files in ~/.aws/ :

$ ls ~/.aws/
config      credentials

credentials

This file contains the default and additional profiles you may have configured using the 3. command, modulo a few switches as explained in the documentation at Amazon, or using aws help

config

This file contains the configuration details per profile as configured using the 3. command as follows:

$ cat ~/.aws/config
[default]
output = json
region = eu-west-1
[backup]
output = json
region = eu-central-1

However installing it "from amazon" worked: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2-linux.html

Thanks @rdp, worked a treat on my Wheezy install
