Getting a "DistributionNotFound" when running aws

Question

I'm trying to run the aws shell on a linux machine. Having installed aws and boto, I'm getting this error:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: boto

but boto is clearly installed, as shown in the pip freeze output. what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I've found this issue in github, and one answer there solved my problem, so I'm recording this for posterity:

pip uninstall boto
pip install -U gsutil
