I was following the instructions for installing the AWS Command Line interface on macOS, and I got as far as running $ curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py and was presented with a large block of code which I suppose installed pip.

When I run the next command $ python3 get-pip.py --user, I get an error that says /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'get-pip.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Has anyone encountered this? The instructions I'm following are here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-install-macos.html#awscli-install-osx-path

Docs at AWS have a bad advice. The correct command is

curl -o get-pip.py https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

See https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installing/#installing-with-get-pip-py
