INSTALLING THE AWS SAM CLI
PDFRSS
Install the latest release of the AWS Serverless Application Model Command Line
Interface (AWS SAM CLI) on supported operating systems.
For information on managing a currently installed version of the AWS SAM CLI,
including how to upgrade, uninstall, or manage nightly builds, see Managing AWS
SAM CLI versions.
IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME INSTALLING THE AWS SAM CLI?
Complete all prerequisites in the previous section before moving forward. This
includes:
1. Signing up for an AWS account.
2. Creating an administrative IAM user.
3. Creating an access key ID and secret access key.
4. Installing the AWS CLI.
5. Configuring AWS credentials.
TOPICS
* Installing the AWS SAM CLI
* Troubleshooting
* Next steps
INSTALLING THE AWS SAM CLI
NOTE
Starting September 2023, AWS will no longer maintain the AWS managed Homebrew
installer for the AWS SAM CLI (aws/tap/aws-sam-cli). If you use Homebrew to
install and manage the AWS SAM CLI, see the following options:
* To continue using Homebrew, you can use the community managed installer. For
more information, see Managing the AWS SAM CLI with Homebrew.
* We recommend using one of the first party installation methods that are
documented on this page. Before using one of these methods, see Switch from
Homebrew.
To install the AWS SAM CLI, follow the instructions for your operating system.
x86_64 - command line installer
1. Download the AWS SAM CLI .zip file to a directory of your choice.
2. (Optional) You can verify the integrity of the installer before
installation. For instructions, see Verify the integrity of the AWS SAM CLI
installer.
3. Unzip the installation files into a directory of your choice. The following
is an example, using the sam-installation subdirectory.
NOTE
If your operating system doesn't have the built-in unzip command, use an
equivalent.
$ unzip aws-sam-cli-linux-x86_64.zip -d sam-installation
4. Install the AWS SAM CLI by running the install executable. This executable
is located in the directory used in the previous step. The following is an
example, using the sam-installation subdirectory:
$ sudo ./sam-installation/install
5. Verify the installation.
$ sam --version
On successful installation, you should see output like the following:
SAM CLI, version 1.94.0
ARM - command line installer
TO INSTALL THE AWS SAM CLI
We recommend installing the AWS SAM CLI into a virtual environment. This ensures
a clean starting environment and an isolated environment when troubleshooting.
* To install the AWS SAM CLI into a virtual environment, see Installing the AWS
SAM CLI into a virtual environment using pip.
After installing the AWS SAM CLI, you can create an alias for the AWS SAM CLI.
This lets you use the AWS SAM CLI outside of your virtual environment.
TO CONFIGURE AN ALIAS FOR THE AWS SAM CLI
1. Get the full path to the virtual environment that you installed the AWS
SAM CLI into. The following is an example:
(venv)$ pwd
/home/ec2-user/sam-cli
2. Create your alias.
$ echo 'alias sam="virtual-environment-directory/venv/bin/sam"' >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
The following is an example:
$ echo 'alias sam="/home/ec2-user/sam-cli/venv/bin/sam"' >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
3. Verify your alias.
$ sam --version
SAM CLI, version 1.94.0
$ which sam
alias sam='/home/ec2-user/sam-cli/venv/bin/sam'
~/sam-cli/venv/bin/sam
LINUX
x86_64 - command line installer

installer.
3. Unzip the installation files into a directory of your choice. The following

NOTE
If your operating system doesn't have the built-in unzip command, use an
equivalent.
$ unzip aws-sam-cli-linux-x86_64.zip -d sam-installation
4. Install the AWS SAM CLI by running the install executable. This executable
is located in the directory used in the previous step. The following is an
example, using the sam-installation subdirectory:
$ sudo ./sam-installation/install

1. Determine an installation directory that you have write permissions to.
Then, create an xml file using the template and modify it to reflect your
installation directory. The directory must already exist.
For example, if you replace path-to-my-directory with /Users/myUser/Desktop,
the aws-sam-cli program folder will be installed there.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<key>attributeSetting</key>
<string>path-to-my-directory</string>
<key>choiceIdentifier</key>
<string>default</string>
</dict>
</array>
</plist>
2. Save the xml file and verify that its valid by running the following:
$ installer -pkg path-to-pkg-installer \
-target CurrentUserHomeDirectory \
-showChoicesAfterApplyingChangesXML path-to-your-xml-file
The output should display the preferences that will be applied to the AWS
SAM CLI program.
3. Run the following to install the AWS SAM CLI:
$ installer -pkg path-to-pkg-installer \
-target CurrentUserHomeDirectory \

TO CREATE A SYMLINK
* To invoke the AWS SAM CLI with the sam command, you must manually create a
symlink between the AWS SAM CLI program and your $PATH. Create your symlink
by modifying and running the following command:
$ sudo ln -s /path-to/aws-sam-cli/sam /path-to-symlink-directory/sam
* sudo – If your user has write permissions to $PATH, sudo is not required.
Otherwise, sudo is required.
* path-to – Path to where you installed the AWS SAM CLI program. For
example, /Users/myUser/Desktop.
* path-to-symlink-directory – Your $PATH environment variable. The default
location is /usr/local/bin.
TO VERIFY A SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION
* Verify that the AWS SAM CLI has properly installed and that your symlink is
configured by running:
$ which sam
/usr/local/bin/sam
$ sam --version
SAM CLI, version 1.94.0

Windows Installer (MSI) files are the package installer files for the Windows
operating system.
Follow these steps to install the AWS SAM CLI using the MSI file.
1. Download the AWS SAM CLI 64-bit.
NOTE
If you use a 32-bit version of Windows, see Installing AWS SAM CLI on 32-bit
Windows.
2. (Optional) You can verify the integrity of the installer before
installation. For instructions, see Verify the integrity of the AWS SAM CLI
installer.
3. Verify the installation.
After completing the installation, verify it by opening a new command prompt
or PowerShell prompt. You should be able to invoke sam from the command
line.
sam --version
After successful installation of the AWS SAM CLI, you should see output like
the following:
SAM CLI, version 1.94.0
4. Enable long paths (Windows 10 and newer only).
IMPORTANT
The AWS SAM CLI app templates repository contains some long file paths which
may cause errors when running sam init due to Windows 10 MAX_PATH
limitations. To resolve this issue, the new long paths behavior must be
configured.
To enable long paths, see Enable Long Paths in Windows 10, Version 1607, and
Later in the Microsoft Windows App Development Documentation.
5. Install Git.
To download sample applications using the sam init command, you must also
install Git. For instructions, see Installing Git.
