Tutorial on installing AWS S3cmd commands in Linux

S3cmd's use scenarios are very rich, such as when you back up your local log files to S3, you can use the combination of s3cmd and cron to make regular backups. For example, when the storage period of the log file is 365 days, use S3cmd to delete the specified directory from S3, and so on.
