How to install when I dont have admin privileges

[ratnakark]

I have a linux server without root privileges.
i extracted the binary from the rpm and executed the binary and it works. BUT establishing a session only works from the directory where i executed the plugin binary.
Any ideas on how to get around this

$pwd
/home/xxx/t1
$ $ ./session-manager-plugin

The Session Manager plugin was installed successfully. Use the AWS CLI to start a session.

$ ssh i-xxx

Last login: Sat Feb 22 01:56:30 2025 from 127.0.0.1
$

$ cd /home/xxx
$ ssh i-xxx

SessionManagerPlugin is not found. Please refer to SessionManager Documentation here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/console/systems-manager/session-manager-plugin-not-found

What I found is needed is just to make sure session-manager-plugin is available in the default PATH

First unpack the rpm

$ wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/session-manager-downloads/plugin/latest/linux_64bit/session-manager-plugin.rpm
$ rpm2cpio session-manager-plugin.rpm | cpio -idmv

Assuming ~/bin is in default PATH

$ mkdir ~/bin
$ cp session-manager-plugin ~/bin

Make sure you can find it

$ which session-manager-plugin
~/bin/session-manager-plugin

Now it should work fine.
