Installing AWS CLI Version 2 on macOS Sonoma using Terminal

We can make use of the Homebrew package manager to install AWS CLI - Command Line Interface version 2 using macOS Terminal.

1. Open the Terminal App.
2. Install Homebrew (optional if already installed) - Install Brew on Mac
3. Install AWS CLI 2.

   brew install awscli

   This will install the latest version of AWS CLI (which is version 2), you can also use awscli@2 but really is not needed!

   

4. Validate that AWS CLI was installed correctly using the --version command.

   % aws --version
   
   aws-cli/2.13.22 Python/3.11.5 Darwin/23.0.0 source/arm64 prompt/off
