• My platform is Windows.
• I have followed all the instructions from http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_Python_flask.html
• Git (git-scm) works from the command line.
• GIT_SSH path has been set to C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\plink.exe

I have looked at two other questions which are similar but they haven't helped,

Answer 1

You must set your PATH to the location of eb. like the following :

C:\> set PATH=%PATH%;<path_to_unzipped_EB_CLI_package>\eb\windows\

for me , I put the AWS Sample Code & Libraries folder on my C drive , So the link above must be

C:\AWS-ElasticBeanstalk-CLI-2.5.1\eb\windows\

Make sure that you have all the AWS-ElasticBeanstalk-CLI-2.5.1 folder contents; eb and api folders
