I'm just getting started with Amazon EC2 Container Service and I'm trying to follow this guide:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ECS_AWSCLI.html
I'm on puTTY (ubuntu) and I signed in and got the AWS CLI with a
sudo apt-get install -y awscli
(note: I am a Mac user, new to all of this) But now when I try to run the first command in the dev guide, I get an error:
$ aws ecs create-cluster --cluster-name MyCluster
usage: aws [options] <command> <subcommand> [parameters]
aws: error: argument command: Invalid choice, valid choices are:
autoscaling | cloudformation
cloudfront | cloudsearch
cloudtrail | cloudwatch
datapipeline | directconnect
dynamodb | ec2
elasticache | elasticbeanstalk
elastictranscoder | elb
emr | iam
importexport | kinesis
opsworks | rds
redshift | route53
ses | sns
sqs | storagegateway
sts | support
swf | s3api
s3 | configure

ECS is a relatively new service, and the version that apt-get gives us doesn't have that option yet. After apt-get installing awscli on ubuntu, the version is 1.2.9, whereas the one I downloaded from the site onto my machine is 1.7.36.....
The aws ecs command works from my command prompt after I manually downloaded the AWS cli, so it's definitely there, just not in this version.
