or you can use npx

Usage

Pull: Retrieve .env from SSM

Use the pull command to retrieve environment variables from AWS SSM and save them to a local .env file.

npx ssm-env-tools pull --env=<environment> \
  --service=<service> \
  --path=<local-path-with-filename> \
  [--dry-run] [--skip-prompt] [--region=<region>]

• <environment>: Environment name.
• <service>: Service name.
• <local-path-with-filename>: Local path, including the file name, where the .env file will be saved.
• --dry-run: Display the environment variables that will be saved to the .env file without actually saving them.
• --skip-prompt: Skip the prompt to confirm the saving of the environment variables to the .env file.
• --region: AWS region where the SSM parameters are stored. If not provided, the default profile region will be used.

Push: Update SSM with .env

Use the push command to update AWS SSM with environment variables from a local .env file.

npx ssm-env-tools push --path=<local-path-with-filename> \
  --env=<environment> \
