Launch aws cli commands from jmeter - jmeter

Question

I am trying to use OS Process Sampler to run the aws cli commands in JMeter.
I will be running this on docker where JMeter and aws cli both will be installed. But before I can do that, I tried to run this locally on my mac but so far unable to get the aws command to run.
On my local terminal for eg I can run:
a. aws --version
b. bash j.sh (aws --version)
Both returns aws-cli/2.0.8 Python/3.7.4 Darwin/18.7.0 botocore/2.0.0dev12
This confirms aws cli is available in path to be accessible globally.
However when I run the same command from OS Process sampler, I have tried following:
a.
Working Directory: /Users/tester/Downloads/apache-jmeter-5.1.1/bin
Environment: {}
Executing: bash aws --version
RESPONSE: bash: aws --version: No such file or directory
b.
Working Directory: /Users/tester
Environment: {}
Executing: bash j.sh
where j.sh just contains the aws --version command
RESPONSE: j.sh: line 1: aws: command not found
What am I missing?

Thanks Dmitri and Vadim for your response on my question. Unfortunately both examples are for Windows where OS Process sampler will work differently compared to Mac. I got it to work with few more tweaks using OS Process Sampler on Mac as well:
The key difference for Mac is that jmeter needs the location aws cli is installed
/usr/local/bin/aws
I was able to find this via which command
which aws
I also decided to use Beanshell sampler along with logging to do this which will allow me to script and control better my other needs.
Here is my reference code that works:
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/local/bin/aws --version");
p.waitFor();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
StringBuilder logCommandOutput = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
logCommandOutput.append(line);
} in .close();
log.info("Output: " + logCommandOutput.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("exception" + e);
}
Hope this helps someone who is trying to do the same.

For those who need to run AWS CLI v2 commands from JMeter on Windows (I use 10).
Below is my setup.
the original command is:
$ aws dynamodb list-tables

I believe you need to configure your OS Process Sampler as follows:
Command: /bin/bash
Parameter 1: -c
Parameter 2: aws --version
Demo:
From bash manual page:
-c If the -c option is present, then commands are read from
the first non-option argument command_string. If there are
arguments after the command_string, the first argument is
assigned to $0 and any remaining arguments are assigned to
the positional parameters. The assignment to $0 sets the
name of the shell, which is used in warning and error
messages.

To run aws cli command in JMeter:
Add OS Process Sampler to your test plan.
In the Command field enter your command: aws.
In the Command Parameters add any parameters you need, for example this one: --version.
Add a View Results Tree to your Thread Group, run the test and see response body:
aws-cli/2.0.0 Python/3.7.5 Windows/10 botocore/2.0.0dev4
