install-vault uses a deprecated method to install awscli v1. Should be v2 #266
Open
Description
Describe the bug
install-vault uses sudo yum install -y awscli curl unzip jq
...but it is no longer recommended to install aws cli this way and should be updated to use v2.
On centos 7 you may encounter issues with this deprecated version such as:
[centos@ip-172-31-38-218 ~]$ /bin/aws
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/bin/aws", line 19, in <module>
import awscli.clidriver
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/awscli/clidriver.py", line 37, in <module>
from awscli.help import ProviderHelpCommand
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/awscli/help.py", line 24, in <module>
from botocore.docs.bcdoc import docevents
ImportError: cannot import name docevents
The solution is to install aws cli v2 instead.
I install explicit versions like below:
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64-2.5.4.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip -q awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install -b /usr/local/bin
It is difficult to determine the right approach with minor versions and dependencies. Perhaps the install should just check that a version is installed between a supported range of versions?
