Install AWS CLI on macOS
This article is for those looking for a detailed and straightforward guide on installing AWS CLI on macOS.
The AWS CLI is a single tool for managing AWS services. With just one tool download, you can control many AWS services from the command line and automate them with scripts.
NOTEWe will be using the iTerm2 terminal emulator.
Download the AWS CLI installer using the command:
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.pkg" -o "AWSCLIV2.pkg"
Let’s start the AWS CLI installation using the command:
sudo installer -pkg AWSCLIV2.pkg -target /
Specify the password for the account and press “Enter”.
Now you can see the location of the executable file with the command:
which aws
You can now view the installed version of AWS CLI using the command:
aws --version
Everything is ready to use the AWS CLI.
You can read more about how to configure AWS CLI in my guide Configure AWS CLI.

Tools I Personally Trust
If you’re building things, breaking things, and trying to keep your digital life a little saner (like every good DevOps engineer), these are two tools that I trust and use daily:
🛸 Proton VPN - My shield on the internet. It keeps your Wi-Fi secure, hides your IP, and blocks those creepy trackers. Even if I’m hacking away on free café Wi-Fi, I know I’m safe.
🔑 Proton Pass - My password vault. Proper on-device encryption, 2FA codes, logins, secrets - all mine and only mine. No compromises.
These are partner links - you won’t pay a cent more, but you’ll be supporting DevOps Compass. Thanks a ton - it helps me keep this compass pointing the right way 💜

Is this content AI-generated?
No. Every article on this blog is written by me personally, drawing on decades of hands-on IT experience and a genuine passion for technology.
I use AI tools exclusively to help polish grammar and ensure my technical guidance is as clear as possible. However, the core ideas, strategic insights, and step-by-step solutions are entirely my own, born from real-world work.
Because of this human-and-AI partnership, some detection tools might flag this content. You can be confident, though, that the expertise is authentic. My goal is to share road-tested knowledge you can trust.
