Error "Unable to find AWS CLI executable."

[oll-isaiahgrant]

Summary

There are multiple resources available out there that reference the files in this project. I have painstakingly went through many of them attempting to find where the gap is on this issue and am hoping to save others that same pain.

The AWS CLI is indeed available in the image, so the error is actually misleading. After tracing the fetch-and-run/fetch_and_run.sh script the lines below throw false positives due to the which command no longer being part of the amazonlinux image.

# Check that necessary programs are available
which aws >/dev/null 2>&1 || error_exit "Unable to find AWS CLI executable."
which unzip >/dev/null 2>&1 || error_exit "Unable to find unzip executable."

You could simply remove those lines and operate under the assumption that these are installed (since you are explicitly installing them anyway) or you could keep the check by modifying them to something like the following:

# Check that necessary programs are available
aws --version >/dev/null 2>&1 || error_exit "Unable to find AWS CLI executable."
unzip -v >/dev/null 2>&1 || error_exit "Unable to find unzip executable."
