Pipelines - aws: command not found

[Augusto Cordero]

I'm trying to install AWS CLI using pipelines with the following commands :

# Installe and init AWS CLI
- apt-get update && apt-get install -y python-dev
- curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
- python get-pip.py
- pip install --upgrade --user awscli

Then when I run : 

aws --version

Throws this error  

bash: aws: command not found

Any help?

Hi @Augusto Cordero ,

Install awscli from apt

- apt-get update && apt-get install -y awscli
- aws --version

[Augusto Cordero]

Thanks, it works for me.

It seems that the version installed with this command is not the latest version and cannot handle the aws commands : ecr and ecs, which are what I need.

[Edwin Kyalangalilwa]

I would then recommend using Python 3

- apt-get update && apt-get install -y python3-pip 
- pip3 install -U awscli 
- aws --version

[Augusto Cordero]

Ok, with this version the commands are working properly. Thanks.

Edwin - Do you have another base image for builds you can recommend that already contains the aws CLI?

[Edwin Kyalangalilwa]

Hi @AJ Steers ,

If all your doing is running awscli commands in the image, then i would recommend a lightweight alpine image .. governmentpaas/awscli - which is based on governmentpaas/curl-ssl

More options - awscli docker hub

Thanks very much! I'm also looking for python3.5+ so I might just have to roll my own image to get both. I did a quick search on dockerhub but nothing popped up.

[AJ Steers]

I did end up building my own image `aaronsteers/builder:python3.7-aws`. I've setup automated build and made the image public on dockerhub.com:

• https://hub.docker.com/r/aaronsteers/builder
• https://github.com/aaronsteers/ci-builders/blob/master/python3.7-aws/Dockerfile

Atlassian also has an alpine image for the awscli: https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/pipelines-awscli
