awscli-update 0.1.8

CLI tool to update AWS CLI 2

AWS CLI v2 Update Script

A small script to keep the AWS CLI v2 up to date, until AWS figures out how to distribute software properly.

Looking for someone that can help to make this work on Mac or Windows

Usage

usage: awscli-update [-h] [--version] [-n] [-q] [--no-sudo] [--prefix PREFIX]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  --version        show program's version number and exit
  -n, --noop       only compare versions but don't install
  -q, --quiet      only print error messages when updating
  --sudo           use sudo to install (e.g. when installing to /usr/local)
  --prefix PREFIX  install aws-cli in custom path (default is /usr/local)
                   only working on Linux right now

Setup

python3 -m pip install awscli-update

Auto update

Right now this is only tested on Linux.

Assuming the awscli-update binary is installed in $HOME/.local/bin (check the location on your machine by running which awscli-update), you want to install the AWS CLI in $HOME/.local/bin and you want to check for updates every hour, run crontab -e and add following line

0 * * * * $HOME/.local/bin/awscli-update -q --prefix $HOME/.local

If you want to check for updates more/less often or at specific times, check this editor for cron expressions.
