error in running `pip install aws cli`: "could not find a version that satisfies the requirement cli"

I'm on a Windows based machine using GitBash for my shell. When I run, pip install aws cli, I get the following message:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement cli (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for cli

I Googled the error, and many responses indicate that it's can be the result of a package that's not contained in pypi, etc. (Pip install-couldn't find a version that satisfies the requirement).

However, since I'm following the video here: http://course.fast.ai/lessons/aws.html at 4:13, and it worked for the instructor, I'm not sure what I'm missing - can someone help me understand this (including any helpful troubleshooting commands to identify the source of the issue?)

I'm new to AWS and also bash so I apologize if this is a relatively elementary question.

Thanks in advance! -Ryan

The command should be:

pip install awscli

You need to remove the space between 'aws' and 'cli'.
