AWS cli is installed but doesn't work, Centos8 - linux

Hi I have installed awscli in centos8 trough pip3, I can see the files in my /root/.local/bin directory
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 817 Mar 4 18:50 aws
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 204 Mar 4 18:49 aws_bash_completer
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1432 Mar 4 18:49 aws.cmd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1138 Mar 4 18:50 aws_completer
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1807 Mar 4 18:49 aws_zsh_completer.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 218 Mar 4 18:49 pyrsa-decrypt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 234 Mar 4 18:49 pyrsa-decrypt-bigfile

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 212 Mar 4 18:49 pyrsa-sign
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 216 Mar 4 18:49 pyrsa-verify
but when I try to entablish the credentials with "aws configure" or simply view the version with "aws --version" I get:
bash: aws: command not found
when I run "pip3 uninstall awscli" and before uninstalling it shows me a list of files, some of them I can not find when I look for them like the ones on the site-package folder, ex:
Uninstalling awscli-1.18.14:
/root/.local/bin/aws
/root/.local/bin/aws.cmd
/root/.local/bin/aws_bash_completer
/root/.local/bin/aws_completer
/root/.local/bin/aws_zsh_completer.sh
/root/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/awscli-1.18.14.dist-info/DESCRIPTION.rst

What should I do?

Amazon-ssm-agent unrecognized service (just installed it via Docker)

I am trying to figure out why I cannot start and stop the amazon-ssm-agent service manually in a Kali Linux Focker image running on an Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS host. Per their instructions, I have obtained the .deb file and installed it with dpkg -i. Although I can interact with it via amazon-ssm-agent -h and registering it just fine, etc., I cannot restart the service which sometimes fixes the Connection Lost issue after registering.
As you can see below, I am using wget to get the .deb file, and installing it:

The only reason that I need to restart the service after registering is because sometimes I get a "Connection Lost" on the managed instance's ping status after registering. Usually restarting the service seem to do the trick for me.
I'm able to restart the service successfully when just using the host (Ubuntu 20.04) and even when the host is running Kali Linux as well, but not when it's a docker container, which doesn't make any sense to me because everything is functional with the exception of being able to start/stop the service manually.
I was able to get this running by cloning this repository: https://github.com/gdraheim/docker-systemctl-replacement
After cloning, I ran the following:
/root/docker-systemctl-replacement/files/docker/systemctl.py restart amazon-ssm-agent

`cd` to a folder in bash script not working: No such folder [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Why can't I change directories using "cd" in a script?

'\r': command not found [duplicate]

Closed 4 years ago.
This is my entire script. it is simply to avoid having to type it again and again
cd api
rails s -p 3001 -b 0.0.0.0
cd ..
When I am in the directory of the script and run cd api it works just fine. However when I run the script via ./start_server It does not work. Here is the output of ls -al:

As you can see there is a folder called api at the top and the start_server script is set to have execution permissions.

Docker "not found" for existing file

I am using Docker to build an electron node app and I'm getting some odd behavior. The build seems successful but when I run the electron app I get a "not found" error but the file does exist. I can ls the file and cat the file but cannot source/execute the file.
$ docker -v
Docker version 17.03.1-ce, build c6d412e
Dockerfile:
FROM node:alpine
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src
WORKDIR /usr/src
COPY package.json /usr/src
RUN npm install
COPY . /usr/src
RUN npm run build:linux
ENTRYPOINT "/usr/src/docker-entrypoint.sh"
This will result in the generation of this directory:
/usr/src/app/builds/app-linux-x64
With a bunch of files including an executable named app.
/usr/src/app/docker-entrypoint.sh: line 5: ./app: not found
It does exist.

I had a similar problem myself which was solved by putting sh infront of the script to run. For you it would be:
ENTRYPOINT "sh" "/usr/src/docker-entrypoint.sh"

OSX Homebrew /usr/local permisions for node

I have installed homebrew without any problems.
The problem was to install node.. I got permission errors about /usr/local directory and symlinks.
So I did
sudo chown -R myuser /usr/local
then I istalled node without problems and then I did
sudo chown -R root /usr/local
I don't remember how was the owners in first place. I just followed some suggestions from stackoverflow to change the owner of /usr/local (a voice inside me says I did bad).
So when I run
brew doctor
I got some warnings and suggestions to chown some folders in /usr/local directory, so I did them. Then when I run
brew doctor
brew update
I get no warnings or errors anymore and looks fine (there was no updates to do after all).
My directories now looks like below. Can anyone confirm if is secure like that? How should be the owners in /usr/local ? Tt's okay to have it owned by my user as they say at github? Thanks.

Reading package lists... Error! on EC2

I am running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS on a t1.micro on ec2. Just a moment ago I logged in, ran sudo apt-get update and got Reading package lists... Error!
I also realized that I no longer can install packages using sudo apt-get install.
Any idea what went wrong here? And how to fix it?
I have tried the answer suggested in this thread https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/139441/reading-package-lists-error but that did not fix the problem. What makes things a little annoying also is the lack of error logs (or the fact I do not know where to look). For example the sudo apt-get install just fails and I do not know how to run it in verbose mode or where to look to find the specific reason why it is failing...

Description: Normalizes package metadata - Node.js module
This module is used by node-read-package-json to normalize data it
reads from a package.json file typically found in Node.js modules,

A restart of the instance fixed the issue. Why this worked, I cannot explain!
You can try out the below commands to fix the issue
sudo rmdir /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo apt-get update
The first command will remove the empty directory, second will create the new directory and the last command will populate the lists files.
Also, Restart your EC2 instance to make the above changes effective.
