To upgrade the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to the latest version, you will need to use the package manager of your operating system.

The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a centralised management tool for AWS services. You may operate numerous AWS services from the command line and automate them with scripts using the AWS CLI. Built on top of the Boto3 Python library, the AWS CLI provides a command-line interface to AWS services. It provides a consistent, high-level interface to multiple AWS services, including Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, and DynamoDB.

If you are using macOS or Linux, you can use pip, the Python package manager, to upgrade the AWS CLI. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Run the following command to upgrade pip to the latest version:

pip install --upgrade pip

  1. Run the following command to upgrade the AWS CLI to the latest version:

pip install --upgrade awscli

If you are using Windows, you can use pip or chocolatey, a package manager for Windows, to upgrade the AWS CLI. To do this using pip, follow the steps above. To do this using chocolatey, follow these steps:

  1. Open a command prompt window.
  2. Run the following command to install chocolatey:
@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" 
-NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex 
((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"
  1. Run the following command to upgrade the AWS CLI to the latest version:

choco upgrade awscli

After running these commands, the AWS CLI should be upgraded to the latest version. You can verify the version by running the following command:
aws --version

This will output the version number of the AWS CLI that you have installed.
