Prerequisites

• Linux, OS X, or Unix
• Python 2 version 2.6.5+ or Python 3 version 3.3+

For Mac OS X and Linux, these three commands will install the AWS CLI on your system:

    $ 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  

Once you have the AWS CLI installed, you can configure it with the security credentials you obtained previously. Type aws configure and follow the instructions. After you complete this step, your credentials will be saved at ~/.aws/configure and different programming platform SD's and the AWS CLI tool will use these credentials when they invoke AWS APIs.
