I'm on macOS Mojave Version 10.14.5.

I was following the instructions here

Installing the AWS CLI

when I got to the part to type

aws --version

in terminal, and got the response

-bash: aws: command not found

Here's a screenshot of terminal

I looked at the other posts similar to this on stackoverflow, but they seem to apply to different contexts. They have not helped.
