How to install EB CLI on Windows?

Question

I have used the entire day trying to install EB CLI on windows in order to connect to AWS Elastic Beanstalk but I keep getting the same error:

Running setup.py install for docker-py
Could not find .egg-info directory in install record for docker-py>=1.1.0 <=1.7.2 (from awsebcli)

I started out with the latest version of Python but after reading of other users issues on Stack Overflow I decided to downgrade my Python version to 3.4.0. However, I still get the same error, meaning that I cannot do EB init to connect to my Elastic Beanstalk instance since it does not recognise the command.

I also tried to un-install docker-py and re-install it - still not working.

Any ideas to what I am doing wrong?

It looks as if you may have version conflicts. See a similar issue here

Try installing awsebcli in a virtual environment, as suggested by the aws docs .
