  • Install the AWS CLI with virtualenv on Gentoo

    First download virtualenv:

    wget -O virtualenv-15.0.3.tar.gz https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/archive/15.0.3.tar.gz

    Extract virtualenv:

    tar xvf virtualenv-15.0.3.tar.gz

    Create the environment:

    python3 virtualenv-15.0.3/virtualenv.py --system-site-packages ~/awscli-ve/

    Alternatively, you can use the -p option to specify a version of Python other than the default:

    python3 virtualenv-15.0.3/virtualenv.py --system-site-packages -p /usr/bin/python3.4 ~/awscli-ve

    Activate your new virtual environment:

    source ~/awscli-ve/bin/activate

    Install the AWS CLI into your virtual environment:

    (awscli-ve)~$ pip install --upgrade awscli

    To exit your virtualenv:

    deactivate
