How do I install boto?

So that I am able to work with it within my python scripts?


Solution 1:

  1. If necessary, install pip:

    sudo apt-get install python-pip

  2. Then install boto:

    pip install -U boto

Solution 2:

Installing Boto depends on the Operating system. For e.g in Ubuntu you can use the aptitude command:

sudo apt-get install python-boto

Or you can download the boto code from their site and move into the unzipped directory to run

python setup.py install

Solution 3:

$ easy_install boto

Edit: pip is now by far the preferred way to install packages
