How to install AWS Elastic Beanstalk CLI?

AWS EB CLI is a command line client that we can use to create, configure, and manage EB environments. We can use the manual steps if the setup scripts aren’t compatible with our development environment. We can use the steps below to install the EB CLI if pip and a supported version of Python are already installed on the computer.

Steps to install AWS Elastic Beanstalk CLI

Let’s see the steps to manually install AWS EB CLI:

1. Run the below code:

$ pip install awsebcli --upgrade --user

The --upgrade instructs pip to update any installed requirements. In order to prevent altering libraries that the operating system depends on, the --user instructs pip to install the program to a subdirectory of the user directory.

If there are problems installing the EB CLI using pip, we may be able to isolate the tool and its dependencies by installing the EB CLI in a virtual environment or by using a different version of Python than we usually would.

2. Add the executable file’s path to the PATH variable.

Linux: ~/.local/bin

macOS: ~/Library/Python/3.7/bin

Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts

To change the PATH variable on Linux, Unix, or macOS:

i. Locate the shell’s profile script in the user folder.

ii. Include an export code to your profile script.

iii. Load the profile script described in the first step into the current session.

To change the PATH variable on Windows:

i. Enter the environment variables after pressing the Windows key.

ii. Select Edit environment variables for your account.

iii. Select PATH, then select Edit.

iv. In the Variable value field, we should provide paths and space them out with semicolons.

v. In order to apply the new settings, we must select OK twice.

vi. Then we must reopen a Command Prompt window after closing the open ones.

3. We can run the below code to confirm the AWS EB has been installed successfully.

$ eb --version

The EB CLI is regularly updated to include new features that support the most recent Elastic Beanstalk features. The code to update is as follows:

$ pip install awsebcli --upgrade --user
