How to install AWS CLI tools on Ubuntu
AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a set of tools written on Python and is officially distributed by AWS as a pip package. You can install AWS CLI on Ubuntu without installing pip because AWS CLI has been re-packaged and distributed in Ubuntu's default package repository.
AWS CLI tools can be installed on Ubuntu using apt from the terminal.
Steps to install AWS CLI tools on Ubuntu:
