@asilverman Could you try it on a cimg/python image instead? Version 1 of the AWS cli requires python to be installed.

Hello all,

Improved messaging has been added to the latest edition of our aws cli orb. You will now see a more helpful error if the v1 CLI is attempted on an environment without python installed. Happy building!
