I followed the note but still doesn’t work. I’m using macOS v10.14.4.

I had the same issue with installing python from this script. This helped me bypass the issue: brew install pyenv pyenv install 3.7.2

@Rokt33r I also had the zlib error but I was simply able to run brew install awsebcli and it works now (from here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/eb-cli3-install-osx.html)

My solution on Mojave (10.14) is similar to @rahulrajaram , but only link the lib and include folder. For me, the issue is with zlib. You can use the following commands.

brew install zlib

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11/include/* /usr/local/include

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.11/lib/* /usr/local/lib

I find it easier to just install the pyenv package and install the required python version on my own.

brew install pyenv
pyenv install 3.7.2

Please take note your zlib and python version may vary.

Thank you, this solved the issue for me 👍

You get around the Python installation problem by installing Python through other means (e.g. brew install python. Note that usually, OS X comes with a Python 2.7, so you might get away without have to do this). Then:

pip install virtualenv
python ./scripts/ebcli_installer.py

I recommend using the ebcli_installer.py script rather than brew install awsebcli to install the EB CLI precisely for the reasons listed here.

I remove zlib and install it again. Then I’m seeing another error…

Works for me! thanks!

@Rokt33r , glad that worked.

I’d like to keep this Issue open since, aside from the Open SSL issue, there are minor usability issues that need to be fixed.

rahulrajaram on Jun 3, 2019

pip install virtualenv
python ./scripts/ebcli_installer.py

It works for me! Thanks! 😃
