a month ago I needed to install aws-sam on my pc. I don't remember what went wrong but I ended with 2 different version of sam installed in the same computer. And I know this because if I run sam --version inside the terminal I get this output:
A newer version of the AWS SAM CLI is available!
Your version: 0.2.11
Latest version: 1.0.0
See https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sam-local for upgrade instructions
sam version 0.2.11
Instead if I type sam --version inside the terminal of Virtual Studio Code I get this output:
SAM CLI, version 0.53.0
(weird)
For the project I need to interact with I need the second version of sam (the one with 0.53.0). I would like to remove both of them and do a clean install again.
Based on the comments.
There are two sam packages, because one was installed using pip3 and the other was installed using brew. This can be checked using the following commands:
pip3 freeze | grep sam
# and
brew list --versions | grep aws
To uninstall the brew version, the following command can be used:
brew uninstall aws-sam-cli
The change may require later adjustment/setting of PATH in ~/.bashrc to correctly point to the remaining sam version's folder:
export PATH=/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH
