Install AWS CLI on Windows

“

- [Instructor] The AWS CLI tool gives you a way to make requests to the AWS API from your computer instead of the user interface that comes with the AWS console. In this video, you'll see how to install the AWS CLI tool on Windows. The first thing you need to do is go to the chocolatey documentation page that describes how to install the AWS CLI. The installation command is choco install AWSCLI, all one word. Switch over to PowerShell and run that command. Choco install AWSCLI. Say yes to all. All right, it looks like AWS CLI has been installed. If I run the command AWS, I'm getting an error message. It says it hasn't been found and you can either type refresh ENV or close PowerShell and open it again. So we're going to close PowerShell and open it again and we're opening as an administrator here. To test whether or not it worked, run AWS help. If you see this information about the AWS Command line tool, it means your installation was successful. The AWS CLI tool only works with AWS, and in the future, if you create an account with Google Cloud Platform or Microsoft Azure, you would download their tool. Great work. You've installed the AWS CLI on your computer.
