To install the AWS CLI using the bundled installer

1. Download the AWS CLI Bundled Installer using wget or curl.
2. Unzip the package.
3. Run the install executable.

On Linux and OS X, here are the three commands that correspond to each step:

$ curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"
$ unzip awscli-bundle.zip
$ sudo ./awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/local/bin/aws

If you don't have sudo permissions or want to install the AWS CLI only for the current user, you can use a modified version of the above commands:

$ curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"
$ unzip awscli-bundle.zip
$ ./awscli-bundle/install -b ~/bin/aws

Check AWS Version:

$ aws --version

It should look like this:

aws-cli/1.9.18 Python/2.7.10 Darwin/15.2.0 botocore/1.3.18
