So why do we need to use AWS Command Line Interface or AWS CLI in creating an Alexa Skills? The reason is that we will use this tool to upload our scripts or codes in AWS Lambda. We can use AWS Lambda to upload manually per script or compress .zip file or direct code through AWS Lambda dashboard or you can use AWS S3 to host a script. So let’s install AWS CLI.
Im using Mac OS so let start installing through Mac OS. I saw on AWS documentation on how to install https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-install-macos.html#awscli-install-osx-pip. But I prefer much easier way i guess through brew. Install first brew https://brew.sh/ then install AWS CLI.
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" brew install awscli aws --version
For Windows
For Linux Ubuntu
