安装EB CLI 3.x后出现错误

Question

I am trying to install the elastic beanstalk CLI on an EC2 instance (running AMI) using these instructions:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/eb-cli3-getting-started.html

I have python 2.7.9 installed, pip and eb. However, when I try to run eb I get the error below. It looks like it is still using python 2.6. How do you fix that?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Pip is probably set up with Python 2.6 instead of python 2.7.

pip --version

You can reinstall pip with Python 2.7, then reinstall 2.6

pip uninstall awsebcli
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
pip install awsebcli

Answer 2

I had the same problem, the fix for me was actually to upgrade to latest Beanstalk stack ( eb upgrade ). Note there are downtime etc. So investigate if you can run the latest stack before upgrading.

Answer 3

The "smartest" solution for me was to install python-dev tools

sudo apt install python-dev
