Aws-sam-cli: SAM is installed but command cannot be found

Created on 22 Oct 2020  路  7Comments  路  Source: aws/aws-sam-cli

Description

I've tried installing aws-sam-cli as recommended in the official documentation but it did not work. I've also tried several other methods including npm and pip, but none of them have made the sam command available for me.

Steps to reproduce

I've ran the commands:

brew tap aws/tap
brew install aws-sam-cl

They finish successfully, but trying to run sam --version afterwards displays:

Observed result

Command 'sam' not found, but there are 18 similar ones.

Expected result

Should display sam's version instead.

Additional environment details (Ex: Windows, Mac, Amazon Linux etc)

  1. OS: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
  2. sam --version: when I try reinstalling brew tells me it's the latest version... but sam --version still does not work.

Further investigation is needed. Meanwhile, a workaround is to run brew install aws-sam-cli twice

Running brew install aws-sam-cli twice "fixes" the issue as a work-around.
This is the same issue as here and here

Further investigation is needed. Meanwhile, a workaround is to run brew install aws-sam-cli twice

You need to symlink it: brew link aws-sam-cli

I had 1.0.0 installed and working fine for months, but after upgrading to the latest (1.10.0) (brew upgrade aws-sam-cli), I got this command not found error. As @hawflau mentioned, running brew install aws-sam-cli after this fixed it for me.

Install, uninstall, then install again works for me (Ubuntu 20):

brew install aws-sam-cli
brew uninstall aws-sam-cli
brew install aws-sam-cli

Issue persist with Homebrew 2.7.1 and brew install twice fixes the issue. During first install getting following logs.

However, the path /home/ec2-user/.linuxbrew/Cellar/aws-sam-cli/1.15.0 did not exist. The actual path getting created was /home/ec2-user/.linuxbrew/Cellar/aws-sam-cli/1.15.0.reinstall

After second run of brew install, /home/ec2-user/.linuxbrew/Cellar/aws-sam-cli/1.15.0 gets created and everything works as expected.
