Install awscli on Ubuntu 18.04 – Step-by-Step Guide

awsdatascience-anacondasoftware installationUbuntu

This should be trivial but it seems that it is not.
I formatted my comp and installed conda(I am used to this package tool)

pip install awscli --upgrade --user
Requirement already up-to-date: awscli in ./.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages (1.16.313)

But now I have problem

aws --version

Command 'aws' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo snap install aws-cli  # version 1.16.266, or
sudo apt  install awscli 

I tried

sudo apt  install awscli
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package awscli is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'awscli' has no installation candidate

I updated and upgraded my distro so I can not see any problems from that side. How to fix this?

snap install

error: This revision of snap "aws-cli" was published using classic confinement
       and thus may perform arbitrary system changes outside of the security
       sandbox that snaps are usually confined to, which may put your system at
       risk.

       If you understand and want to proceed repeat the command including
       --classic.

Best Answer

Use following steps instead:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install awscli

aws --version
