How to uninstall aws-cli

Question

I am trying to set up an \"Amazon Elastic Container Registry\" but I get the following error when using this command: aws ecr get-login --no-include-email --region us-

Answer 1

Uninstall awscli.
pip uninstall awscli -y

Answer 2

I had the same issue, but unlike Morgan, I prefer to use Homebrew to maintain all my dependencies in a single place.

So what I did was:

1 - uninstall awscli (was installed with pip - python2)

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/aws
$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/aws

2 - Install awscli using homebrew

$ brew install awscli

Homebrew will install awscli inside Cellar folder: /usr/local/Cellar/awscli

Note: I also have python3 installed through Hombrew.

• Homebrew-awscli: Homebrew Install awscli

• Homebrew-python3: Homebrew Install python3

Answer 3

I had a similar issue. Answering in case someone else does too. I think I had originally installed it without pip like this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/awscli-install-bundle.html. So you just need to uninstall it like this (as instructed in above link):

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/aws
$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/aws

Then you can re-install it with pip3: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-install-macos.html

Basically:

pip3 install awscli --upgrade --user

Then add it to your path

export PATH=/Users/yourname/Library/Python/3.6/bin/:$PATH

Answer 4

On ubuntu :

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove awscli

ln -s /home/ubuntu/.local/bin/aws /usr/bin/aws

Answer 5

If you are using mac and used brew to install aws cli. Use brew uninstall awscli and try brew install awscli

Answer 6

First try to get the path of the installation by using this command in Linux or mac

which aws-cli

After you get the installation location try removing the directory by using

sudo rm -rf "/path resultant from previous command"
