   Installed AWSCLIV2 on win10 64bit (WinInstaller)
   All steps worked without issue.
   C:\Users\YOURNAME\.aws path to profile & credentials file in windows (default)

   [profile cybrisfun]
   region = us-east-1
   output = json
   [profile AWSCLIRole]
   role_arn = arn:aws:iam::11111111111:role/AWSCLIRole <<—-using my arn number
   source_profile = cybrisfun <<—-change default to cybrisfun

   I’m getting an error, please help

   $ aws sts get-caller-identity

   Unable to redirect output to pager. Received the following error when opening pager:
   [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘less’

   Learn more about configuring the output pager by running “aws help config-vars”.

      It sounds like you are missing the package called ‘less’. More info here including how to install it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57953187/aws-cli-has-no-output

   [profile AWSCLIRole]
   role_arn = arn:aws:iam::1122334455:role/AWSCLIRole
   source_profile = default

   The last line I have to change it to the following, else I keep failing the rest of the lab.
   source_profile = cybrisfun

   aws : The term ‘aws’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
   spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
   At line:1 char:1
   + aws iam create-user –user-name cybrdiamond
   + ~~~
   + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (aws:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
   + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

   When I enter the commands I get this.

      Hi, this means the AWS CLI was not properly installed. Did you follow the installation instructions from AWS’ docs? If so, try restarting your terminal.
