AWS is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable command, or batch file

 In the context of AWS, here are the steps given for how you can troubleshoot and resolve your particular Issue:-

Checking AWS CLI installation

First, you should ensure that you have the AWS CLI in your particular system. If not installed then you can install the AWS CLI from the official AWS website.

Verify environment variables

You can check if the AWS CLI executable path is included in your system's PATH environment variable.

Update the PATH Variable

You can also add manually the AWS CLI directory in your PATH if it is not presented.

Restart the terminal or command prompt

After updating the PATH Variable, you can close and re-open your terminal or command prompt windows to apply the changes.

Verify the AWS CLI installation

Once you have updated the PATH you can run “aws --- version” again in your terminal or even command prompt so that you can verify that the AWS CLI is now recognized as a command.

Aws –version

REM Step 2: Verify Environment Variables

Echo %PATH%

REM Step 3: Update PATH Variable (if needed)

Setx PATH “%PATH%;C:Program FilesAmazonAWSCLI”

REM Step 4: Restart Command Prompt

REM Close the current command prompt window and reopen it

REM Step 5: Verify AWS CLI Installation (Again)

Aws –version

For UNIX based system

# Step 1: Check AWS CLI Installation

   • Windows: Add the AWS CLI directory path to the PATH variable using setx PATH “%PATH%;C:Program FilesAmazonAWSCLI”.
   
   

          

   • Unix-based: Edit ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile to include export PATH=/usr/local/bin/aws:$PATH and then run source ~/.bashrc to apply the changes.
