EB-CLI Installer

1.1. Prerequisites

If you don't have Git, install it from Git Downloads.

Python, which the EBCLI Installer depends on, requires the following prerequisites for each operating system.

  • Linux

    • Ubuntu and Debian

      build-essential zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libncurses-dev libffi-dev libsqlite3-dev libreadline-dev libbz2-dev

    • Amazon Linux and Fedora

      "Development Tools" zlib-devel openssl-devel ncurses-devel libffi-devel sqlite-devel.x86_64 readline-devel.x86_64 bzip2-devel.x86_64

  • macOS

    Xcode openssl zlib readline

2. Use

2.1. Clone this repository

Use the following:

git clone https://github.com/aws/aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup.git

2.2. Install/Upgrade the EB CLI

On Bash and Zsh on macOS and Linux:

./aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup/scripts/bundled_installer

In PowerShell or in a Command Prompt window:

.\aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup\scripts\bundled_installer

2.3. Troubleshooting

  • Linux

    Most installation problems have been due to missing libraries such as OpenSSL.

    • On Ubuntu and Debian, run the following command to install dependencies.

      apt-get install \
    build-essential zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libncurses-dev \
    libffi-dev libsqlite3-dev libreadline-dev libbz2-dev

    • On Amazon Linux and Fedora, run the following command to install dependencies.

      yum group install "Development Tools"
yum install \
    zlib-devel openssl-devel ncurses-devel libffi-devel \
    sqlite-devel.x86_64 readline-devel.x86_64 bzip2-devel.x86_64

  • macOS

    Most installation problems on macOS are related to loading and linking OpenSSL and zlib. The following command installs the necessary packages and tells the Python installer where to find them:

    brew install zlib openssl readline
CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include -I$(brew --prefix readline)/include -I$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib -L$(brew --prefix readline)/lib -L$(brew --prefix zlib)/lib"

    Run brew info to get the latest environment variable export suggestions, such as brew info zlib

  • Windows

    • In PowerShell, if you encounter an error with the message "execution of scripts is disabled on this system", set the execution policy to "RemoteSigned" and then rerun bundled_installer.

      Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

    • If you encounter an error with the message "No module named 'virtualenv'", use the following commands to install virtualenv and the EB CLI:

      pip uninstall -y virtualenv
pip install virtualenv
python .\aws-elastic-beanstalk-cli-setup\scripts\ebcli_installer.py
