Install AWS CLI on Mac

The Mac comes with Python 2.7 and no pip

This guide recommends upgrade to Python 3 which I want to avoid: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-install-macos.html

Unsuccesfull path - keep the Python 2.7

This does not work.

There is no aws script in ~/.local/bin, the pip install just added som python libraries

=> Repeating did not help either

Simple and working - brew to the rescue

Redoing with brew => installs Python 3 :-( but it works

A CA file has been bootstrapped using certificates from the SystemRoots
keychain. To add additional certificates (e.g. the certificates added in
the System keychain), place .pem files in
  /usr/local/etc/openssl/certs

  /usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/c_rehash

This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because Apple has deprecated use of OpenSSL in favor of its own TLS and crypto libraries.

Main reason why I was trying to avoid Python3 were some Python2 tools that were reportedly broken by presence of Python3.

Luckily, it turns out I have both python and python3 working afterward
