How do I install boto?
PythonInstallationBotoPython Problem Overview
So that I am able to work with it within my python scripts?
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
-
If necessary, install pip:
sudo apt-get install python-pip -
Then install boto:
pip install -U boto
Solution 2 - Python
Installing Boto depends on the Operating system. For e.g in Ubuntu you can use the aptitude command:
sudo apt-get install python-boto
Or you can download the boto code from their site and move into the unzipped directory to run
python setup.py install
Solution 3 - Python
$ easy_install boto
Edit: pip is now by far the preferred way to install packages
Solution 4 - Python
switch to the boto-* directory and type python setup.py install.
Solution 5 - Python
-
install pip: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html
-
insatll boto: https://github.com/boto/boto
$ git clone git://github.com/boto/boto.git
$ cd boto
$ python setup.py install
Solution 6 - Python
Best way to install boto in my opinion is to use:
pip install boto-1.6
This ensures you'll have the boto glacier code.
Solution 7 - Python
If you already have boto installed in one python version and then install a higher python version, boto is not found by the new version of python.
For example, I had python2.7 and then installed python3.5 (keeping both). My script under python3.5 could not find boto. Doing "pip install boto" told me that boto was already installed in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages.
So I did
pip install --target /usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages boto
This allowed my script under python3.5 to find boto.
Solution 8 - Python
While trying out the
pip install boto
command, I encounter the error
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources
To resolve this, issue another command to handle the setuptools using curl
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py | python
After doing that, the following command will work perfectly.
pip install boto
Solution 9 - Python
If you're on a mac, by far the simplest way to install is to use easy_install
sudo easy_install boto3
