How to upgrade AWS CLI to the latest version?

Question

I recently noticed that I am running an old version of AWS CLI that is lacking some functionality I need:

$aws --version
aws-cli/1.2.9 Python/3.4.3 Linux/3.1         


        

Answer 1

Currently, using pip will get you the old version of awscli, 1.18.103.

The latest version of aws-cli, 2.0.33 is on the v2 branch. You can download the installer for Linux, Windows and macOS from here.
