Install AWS cli (command line)

curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
pip install awscli

or

sudo apt-get install awscli  #it will update a lot of packages to Python3 but will leave 2.7 as default

Configure AWS credentials

Create default profile in ~/.aws/credentials file and ~/.aws/config file, the values are processed in this order.

aws configure
aws ec2 describe-regions  #to get a list all available regions

The /.aws/config profile sections must have the format of [profile profile-name], except for the default profile. For example:

# Example ~/.aws/config file
[default]
aws_access_key_id=***
aws_secret_access_key=***

[profile dev]
aws_access_key_id=***
aws_secret_access_key=***
