I think you didn't pass the configuration. First install the AWS CLI.

pip install awscli --upgrade --user

Then type below command in your terminal,

aws configure

Provide your details correctly,

AWS Access Key ID [****************6GOW]: 
AWS Secret Access Key [****************BHOD]: 
Default region name [us-east-1]: 
Default output format [None]:

Try this and you can also view your credentials in below paths.

sudo cat ~/.aws/credentials

[default]
aws_access_key_id = ******7MVXLBPHW66GOW
aws_secret_access_key = wKtT*****UqN1sO/1Pfn+BCrvNst*****695BHOD

sudo cat ~/.aws/config

[default]
region = us-east-1

or you can view all those in one place by aws configure list command,
