Not able to install AWS CLI on macOS

[akshaykhc]

Hello,

I followed the AWS documentation to install AWS CLI via GUI Installer as well as the Command line Installer for macOS. Installation was sucessfull. However, when I try to use the AWS CLI, it either gives "permission denied: aws" error or says "aws: command not found".

Please refer below:

> user@1234 ~ % aws --version
> zsh: permission denied: aws
> user@1234 ~ % 
> user@1234 ~ % sudo aws --version
> sudo: aws: command not found
> user@1234 ~ % 
> user@1234 ~ % which aws
> aws not found
> user@1234 ~ % 

I referred to the following AWS documentation to perform the installation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html#getting-started-install-instructions

I also referred to the following AWS documentation to try to troubleshoot this issue: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-troubleshooting.html#tshoot-access-denied

Hi @akshaykhc, thanks for reaching out. I can't seem to find examples of this error that aren't related to permissions. You mentioned that you followed the troubleshooting documentation; could you verify that adding run permissions (the first step listed in the documentation) was successful?
