how to install AWSCLI on a Anaconda python distribution
Now you can get it from conda-forge, a set of community maintained conda recipes.
conda install -c conda-forge awsclisource: Anaconda Cloud
After you have installed Anaconda, ensure that your default Python is the Anaconda installation by running your profile file, for example, in bash:
$source ~/.bash_profileThen, install Aws CLI with pip (sudo not required):
$pip install awscliYou can then verify that the installation was successful. For example, I had the same issue. I verified it thus:
