Bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I am trying to deploy my site with EB CLI. Whenever I try to run $ eb --version, it always shows the error below, even though it works on my CMD. Can anyone help me with it? Thank you.

     /c/Users/username/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python35/Scripts/eb: 
     c:\users\user: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

In windows, it works for me using eb.exe instead of simply eb.

This error is related to your terminal and the environment it runs on. You get the same error with e.g. cygwin using git bash. In a script I had something like this:

#!/c/Program Files/some_program/executable.exe

Escaping the space with a backslash or using quotes didn't work.

The solution is to use the DOS' short filename:

  • Progra~1 for "Program Files"
  • Progra~2 for "Program Files (x86)"

So my line would turn into:

#!/c/Progra~1/some_program/executable.exe

This did not work for me. I tried double-backslash. It seems that the 'eb' script is using the System or User paths to call other scripts. Even if I manually edit my System and User PATH variables in Windows to use quotes around each entry, I still hit the above issue.

My error: 

$ /c/Users/myname/AppData/Roaming/Python/Python37/Scripts/eb -version
  bash: /c/Users/myname/AppData/Roaming/Python/Python37/Scripts/eb: 
  c:\program: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

It seems to be an issue with EB running on Bash.

So instead I made Visual Studio Code use cmd prompt instead of bash, using the following answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50527994/277601

Try double backslash:

C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python35\\Scripts\\eb

I was facing the same problem in ellipse, backslash and running the code in Python IDLE solved my problem.
