Mac Sierra - Amazon AWS CLI Easy Installer and Setup

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/awscli-install-bundle.html

    Switch to the download folder

    $ cd ~/Downloads

    Download the AWS CLI Bundled Installer.

    $ curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"

    Unzip the package.

    $ unzip awscli-bundle.zip

    Note

    If you don't have unzip, use your Linux distribution's built in package manager to install it.

    Run the install executable.

    $ sudo ./awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/local/bin/aws

    Note

    By default, the install script runs under the system default version of Python. If you have installed an alternative version of Python and want to use that to install the AWS CLI, run the install script with that version by absolute path to the Python executable. For example:

    $ sudo /usr/local/bin/python2.7 awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/local/bin/aws

After you install, you must configure it.  

    $ aws configure

    AWS Access Key ID [None]: {PASTE YOUR ACCESS KEY ID IN}

    AWS Secret Access Key [None]: {PASTE YOUR SECRET ACCESS KEY IN}

    Default region name [None]: us-east-1

    Default output format [None]:  

Your CLI should be configured:

    $ aws s3 ls
