sudo apt install unzip
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install
aws configure

Step 2: Installing the kubectl CLI:

curl -o kubectl https://amazon-eks.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.19.6/2021-01-05/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
chmod +x ./kubectl
sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin
kubectl version --short --client

Step 3: Installing the kubectl CLI:
