How to setup amazon s3 module on ubuntu?

Question

I am looking at the readme and there isn't any instructions on how to install it locally on my ubuntu machine (curious, is it different on a mac os?)

Answer 1

Amazon's documentation should help. Here's the getting started guide for S3 and Python. It's in the cheese shop, so it's as easy as

sudo pip install -U boto

or

sudo easy_install boto

Answer 2

There is a package on pypi:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/boto

Just install like any other python package using easy_install:

easy_install boto

Or download the package manually and run python setup.py install.
