Elastic Beanstalk – Setting up ‘eb’ Command Line Tools

1. Download the command line tools.
2. Unzip/tar and place the directory in a location that you want to keep the tools in. Usually something like etc/AWStools.

3. Open the .bash_profile and add the following line to it.

   export PATH=$PATH:/Users/adronhall/Coderz/AWS-ElasticBeanstalk-CLI-2.5.1/eb/macosx/python2.7/
   

4. Restart the terminal/bash and type eb, eb –help or eb status. You’ll see these results based on what you’ve typed.

   $ eb
   Error: too few arguments
   usage: eb {COMMAND} [options]
   Try eb --help for more information.
   
   $ eb status
   The configuration file, "config", cannot be found. Use the "init" command to create it.
   
   $ eb --help
   usage: eb {COMMAND} [options]
