AWS Command Line Interface or CLI is a set of open-source tools that allows you to manage and automate AWS services using commands.

AWS CLI supports multiple platforms like Windows, Linux, and macOS and provides direct access to public APIs for AWS. Further, automation of tedious infrastructure tasks is easily possible in a CLI environment.

AWS CLI Versions

AWS CLI has two major versions available, i.e., version 1.x, which is available for backward compatibility while version 2.x is the current general release available and is intended for production use. It’s not completely backward compatible and hence scripts that use version 1 of AWS CLI may not be compatible with version 2.

Here we’ll be covering the installation of AWS CLI on different platforms. Since version 2.x is the general release available at the time of this writing we’ll be only covering the installation of the same.
