You can run either script in under a minute directly from the AWS Console’s built-in terminal — no cloning, no installs. Open a CloudShell session, pick your operation, paste one command, and you’re done.
1

Open AWS CloudShell

Sign in to the AWS Console. Select the AWS region you want to work in using the region selector in the top navigation bar. Click the CloudShell icon in the top navigation bar (or find it under the Tools menu). Wait for the session to initialize — this may take a few moments on first launch.
2

Choose your operation

Select the operation you want to perform and run the corresponding command in your CloudShell terminal.
This command fetches and runs versions.sh, which displays the current versions of all shells and AWS CLI tools installed in your CloudShell environment.
curl -LfsS https://link.rwick.it/aws-cloudshell-versions | bash

Review the output

Once the script finishes, check the terminal output to confirm it ran successfully.
  • View Versions: The terminal prints the version of each shell (bash, zsh, pwsh) followed by each AWS CLI tool (aws, eb, ecs-cli, sam).
  • Update Tools: The terminal shows download and install progress for the AWS CLI v2 package, ending with: 
    AWS CLI v2 updated!
The -LfsS curl flags follow redirects (-L), fail on HTTP errors (-f), run silently (-s), and show errors (-S). The wget equivalent uses -O- to write output to stdout instead of saving it to a file.
The update script runs sudo ./aws/install to install AWS CLI system-wide. Ensure you trust the source before piping any script into bash.
