On a Linux system, wget can be used to download the latest version of the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI.

wget https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/releases/latest/download/aws-sam-cli-linux-x86_64.zip

Create a temporary directory for the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI installation files.

mkdir /tmp/aws-sam-cli-install-files

unzip the file.

unzip aws-sam-cli-linux-x86_64.zip -d /tmp/aws-sam-cli-install-files

You can now delete the .zip file.

rm aws-sam-cli-linux-x86_64.zip

The install command can then be used to install the Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI. By default, the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI will be installed at /usr/local/bin/sam.

sudo /tmp/aws-sam-cli-install-files/install

You can now remove the /tmp/aws install directory.

rm -rf /tmp/aws-sam-cli-install-files
