aws-cli installation v1 request command line developer tools

[ArminDeeg]

MacOS Catalina
I have the need to install the aws-cli for enduser S3 features.

Using the recommended installation with terminal:

curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"
unzip awscli-bundle.zip
./awscli-bundle/install -b ~/bin/aws

request for installing the command line developer tools.

For enduser which installs our software solutions with our installer is this irritating. Is the a solution to properly install the aws-cli without any user action from an signed and notarized Apple PKG installer ?

Hi @ArminDeeg ,
I may be misunderstanding the issue a bit here, but you're asking for a way to install the sdk without user interaction beyond the console lines, so you want the macos to not ask for permission to install?
And regarding Apple PKG, I'm afraid the only installation options we provide are listed in the installation guide.

Hi @KaibaLopez,

I want to point to the developers of the aws-cli installer, that there seems a bug inside the installation process. Cause the AWS-CLI is not for xcode users only. So a normal enduser should not irritated with requests to install apple developer tools to use aws-cli.

The installation guide shows a sudo free installtion on macOS, but it does not work, it requests for apple command line tools,

So what can I do to install aws-cli in a silent way ?

So I'm not able to replicate your problem, cli installation should not prompt apple developer tools, but if you're searching for another way to install the cli, I'd recommend doing it through pip.

Does PIP also request for xcode tools ? is it default on macOS ?

To replicate the problem, you have to install (not migrate) a fresh macOS catalina without any developer tools.

I have a related problem, on Catalina I am getting this error following awscli-bundle/install script:

@ArminDeeg - I am also not able to replicate. I'm running Catalina (10.15.6) and do not have XCode installed. I do not get prompted to install it with any installation mechanism. Does this still occur for you?

@Jaff, your issue looks distinct. Are you still encountering this? If so, can you open a separate issue and provide some more details about your environment? Thanks!
