#### Universal Command Line Interface for Amazon Web Services - strictly confined

The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a unified tool to manage your AWS services.

This is a strictly confined version, for enhanced security.

With just one tool to download and configure, you can control multiple AWS services from the command line and automate them through scripts.

The AWS CLI v2 offers several new features including improved installers, new configuration options such as AWS Single Sign-On (SSO), and various interactive features.

For best user experience, create an alias for this snap to the standard upstream binary name.

$ sudo snap alias amz-aws-cli aws

If you are migrating from other packaging of AWS CLI, you may want to migrate your existing config.

$ amz-aws-cli.setup

If you find bash completion is not working, you can probably get it working by installing the core snap. This seems to be a bug in the completion implementation.

$ sudo snap install core

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install amz-aws-cli

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/amz-aws-cli/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
