How do I install Fish Shell on AWS Linux

I can't seem to install Fish shell on an AWS Linux instance. I keep getting the following error and can't seem to find a fix for it.

[root@ip-172-31-20-125 ec2-user]# yum -y install fish
Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper
Repository shells_fish_release_2 is listed more than once in the configuration

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Solution

  • Same way as on Centos 6.

    from:

    cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/shells:fish:release:2/CentOS_6/shells:fish:release:2.repo
yum install fish

    2021 update:

    If you're running a newer version of AWS Linux - run rpm -E %{rhel} to see the RHEL version, and then use one of the links here for the wget command. For instance, if the RHEL version is 7, run as root:

    cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget --no-check-certificate https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/shells:fish:release:3/CentOS_7/shells:fish:release:3.repo
yum install fish
