Installation successfully completed.

localstack==0.12.19.1
localstack-client==1.26

Python 3.9.6

System environment path:

Python location on PC:

When I use any command related to localstack , I'm getting the below error:

C:\Users\BRT.JNEHME\Desktop\FRC\freight_rate_collector-main>localstack -h

C:\Users\BRT.JNEHME\Desktop\FRC\freight_rate_collector-main>python C:\Program Files\Python39\Scripts\\localstack -h
python: can't open file 'C:\Program': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Anyone have any idea about this issue ?

Answer 1

You need to add quote to your python command because you have spaces in your path

In other words, you should write this :

python "C:\Program Files\Python39\Scripts\localstack" -h

Instead of this

python C:\Program Files\Python39\Scripts\\localstack -h

The error comes from the command you enter: the syntax is not correct.

When you write a command and this command has a path where spaces can be found (here it is your case with Program Files), you must add quotes to the whole path so that the path is interpreted as a single argument and not two arguments (because on the command line, adding a space indicates the addition of a parameter)
