Issue in installing AWS EB CLI

Question

I'm following this instruction to install eb cli, but it raise this error:

Will not install to the user site because it will lack sys.path precedence to python-dateutil in c:\virtual envs\python_XXXX\lib\site-packages

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/eb-cli3-install-windows.html

I basically run this pip command:

pip install awsebcli --upgrade --user

On Python 3.8 in a virtual env

Answer 1

If you are installing within a virtual environment, run the same command, but without --user. Refer to this issue here https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/573
