awscli getting started error

I'd already asked this on the AWS official forum on Jan-2 but not any reply. So, I m posting it here again so that I can get the error fixed.

I installed awscli as stated in this page http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html

And the following is the installation details:

millisami at millisami in ~/Code/face_tester on design ✹

Since installing the pip its successful, but why that botocore is being reported no such file??

Dont forget to configure the awscli tool after install:

brew install awscli

or

pip install awscli

then

aws configure

I had to also:

pip uninstall boto3
pip install boto3=={correct version}

"awscli 1.11.166 has requirement botocore==1.7.24"

I did have the same issue but upgrading awscli via pip/pip3 didn't work for me. The root cause of the issue is basically a conflict between 2 different awscli. Once installed via apt-get install awscli and one installed via pip3 insstall awscli. To solve the issue, I removed thee awscli installed in via apt-get. Doing so will remove the aws binary from /usr/bin/aws so just created a soft link from /usr/loca/bin/aws.

I've been having the same problem with similar boto dependencies. I basically ran sudo apt-get install awscli on an AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance and it was totally broken out of the box.

After scratching around for hours, the following seems to have done t'trick:

sudo pip install boto --upgrade
sudo pip install boto3 --upgrade
sudo pip install iso8601
sudo pip install sqlalchemy

Typing aws on the command line after running these commands produced the expected "Usage: ..." message as opposed to a Python stacktrace.

I hope this is helpful to someone else too!
