    We were able to execute by setting the following environment variables.

     

    export AWS_HOME=/opt/aws/awscli-1.10.26

     

    export PATH=$PATH:$AWS_HOME/bin

     

    export PYTHONPATH=$AWS_HOME/lib/python2.6/site-packages:/opt/aws/awscli- 1.10.26

To add-on to your answer. There are two typos in the export PYTHONPATH at the awscli- and 1.10.26// Also a more permanent fix is to add what you suggested to the end of the ~/.bashrc file.

 

For the linux noobs

 

  1. vim ~/.bashrc
  2. hit i for insert

  3. copy and paste the following three lines to the end of the file

     

    export AWS_HOME=/opt/aws/awscli-1.10.26

     

    export PATH=$PATH:$AWS_HOME/bin

     

    export PYTHONPATH=$AWS_HOME/lib/python2.6/site-packages:/opt/aws/awscli-1.10.26/lib64/python2.6/site-packages

     

  4. hit Esc and type :wq! then hit enter.

     

  5. source ~/.bashrc
  6. aws help
