[AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/index.html) is a cross-platform command-line tool that can be installed on development computers. The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is a unified tool that provides a consistent interface for interacting with all parts of Amazon Web Services.

It is available for a variety of operating systems and Linux distributions and has multiple ways to install it.

## Introduction

This article provides a quick solution to install AWS CLI version 2 for Ubuntu on Arm.

Confirm you are using an Arm computer with 64-bit Linux by running:

```bash { target="ubuntu:latest" }
uname -m
```

The expected output is `aarch64`

If you see a different result, you are not using an Arm computer running 64-bit Linux.

## Download and install AWS CLI version 2

Before starting, install `unzip`

```bash { target="ubuntu:latest" }
sudo apt update
sudo apt install unzip -y
```

Download the zip file with `curl`, extract the installer, and run it.

```bash { target="ubuntu:latest" }
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-aarch64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install
```

Confirm the CLI is available by invoking the `aws` command to print the version.

```bash { target="ubuntu:latest" }
aws --version
```

## Install AWS CLI version 1

AWS CLI version 2 is recommended, but version 1 can be installed using the Linux package manager.

Both versions should not be installed on the same computer.

```console
sudo apt update
sudo apt install awscli -y
```

Review [AWS CLI v2 is now generally available](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/aws-cli-v2-is-now-generally-available/) to review the new features in version 2.
