This repository contains AWS related script written in Python3.X using boto3 package.
Below prerequisites must be fulfilled for successful execution of code.
Resources in nested directories are meant for use with Python 3.x (check the version using python3 --version). If you don't have the compatible version, download it from official python repository. Make sure to install python package manager - pip3 (check the version using pip3 --version) as well.
To install python3, pip3 and python3-venv on ubuntu operating system using apt package manager, use below command.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo apt install python3-venv
python3 --version
pip3 --version
It is a best practice to create a virtual environment for your coding to avoid any conflict in dependencies between multiple applications. Hence, We will need to create a virtual environment (using python's default package "venv") and install all the dependencies.
python3 -m venv boto3-venv # on Windows, use "python -m venv boto3-venv" instead
source boto3-venv/bin/activate # on Windows, use "boto3-venv\Scripts\activate" instead
pip install -r requirements.txt
To run the script - go to command prompt, activate the virtual environment and hit the following command:
python </path/to/the/pythonscript>
