Issues installing AWS CLI version 1.16.14 (Required for a few AWS Services)

[akshaykhc]

I am trying to install AWS CLIv1.16.14 using the following command: pip3 install awscli==1.16.14

However, when I do aws --version, i get the following output: aws-cli/2.7.18 Python/3.9.11 Darwin/21.6.0 exe/x86_64 prompt/off

Sharing below the output of both the commands:

% pip3 install awscli==1.16.14

Hi @akshaykhc thanks for reaching out. We recommend using AWS CLI v2 when possible, but if you require v1.16.14 then you can refer to this documentation for uninstalling v2 and this documentation for installing v1. As noted in the documentation you can install a specific version of v1 you can append a hyphen and the version number to the filename. For example the filename for version 1.16.312 would be awscli-bundle-1.16.312.zip. Please let us know if you have any follow up questions.
