Install-AWSPowerShellModule.ps1 is a PowerShell Script to Install the Amazon Web Services Tools for Windows PowerShell

Amazon Web Services provides a PowerShell module that can be installed to allow you to manage your AWS services from PowerShell. Downloading and installing the tools is simple enough, but I prefer automation where possible so that new management stations can be set up quickly.

Install-AWSPowerShellModule.ps1 is a script that will download the latest MSI package from Amazon Web Services and install it on the local computer.

Example:

PS C:\Scripts> .\Install-AWSPowerShellModule.ps1

You can download the script from Github. The script contains a function if you need to re-use it in other scripts or build processes of your own.
