+**Note:** As of version 2 Amazon has switched from a Python package to a static binary that seems to include its own Python etc. Their installer is annoying as it tries to create directories, make symlinks, manage versions, etc. My strategy is to create a v2 directory and let it do what it wants there (non-root) and then keep the environment module always pointing to the "current" link.
