Application [AWS CLI] Command shortcuts are not working globally

Question

I just installed AWS CLI on a few servers with Ubuntu 14 on. The last server I installed it on, cannot access the AWS CLI from the terminal and run commands.

This does not work:

aws --version

You need to do this:

/home/user/.local/lib/aws/bin/aws --version

How can I make aws --version work in the same manner it does on all the other servers?

Answer 1

PATH Variables needed to be added.

cd ~

vi .profile

Append: :/home/user/.local/lib/aws/bin/ Behind: PATH=":$HOME/bin

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH:/home/user/.local/lib/aws/bin/"
fi

aws --version
