AWSCLI install on Mac successful, then bash commands fail
I'm trying to install the AWSCLI on my Mac (OS 10.14).
First of all, one of the first things I did with this Mac was follow these instructions for upgrading Python, and so my system Python is now 3.7.1 (i.e., this is returned when I enter python --version).
Steps I've taken:
Now regarding awscli, I first tried simply pip install awscli --upgrade --user based on the AWS docs here. This was successful, but then bash commands like aws configure and aws --version resulted in the response -bash: aws: command not found.
So, I ran pip uninstall awscli in hopes of trying a different method. I then followed these instructions for bundled installation. Again, the installation was successful, and again the aws command cannot be found.
Using guidance posted here, I tried adding export PATH=~/Library/Python/3.7/bin/:$PATH to my .profile, but this did not work either. (I tried both overwriting the default export PATH and adding the above as a separate line - neither worked.)
Potential root cause:
There is an alias for aws in /usr/local/bin, however when I click "show original," I get the error original item cannot be found. I assume the solution lies in fixing this alias, but I'm not sure what it should be pointing to.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
EDIT: This question is similar to the one posted here, however the issue persists even when not installing with pip install --user and instead using AWS's bundled installer.

If you're not using virtual environments, I strongly recommend it for managing pip installed modules. I use pyenv which also lets you manage multiple python versions if you wish.

This is very similar to that issue, @phd, but the accepted answer does not work for me (the answer itself is also similar to the link I posted above ). I'm happy to move conversation there anyway, to reduce clutter, however I feel it might be valuable to the community to have this question phrased separately, in awscli-specific terms.
