aws-sam-cli: Error when installing python version on MACOS

Try with --user flag?

pip install --user --upgrade setuptools

Try

pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install ez_setup
pip install --user --upgrade aws-sam-cli

Try this. Works for me.

pip install --user --upgrade setuptools
pip install --user ez_setup
pip install --user --upgrade aws-sam-cli

Hi,

Same issue here. Thansk @Maxmus1989 for the solution.

+1 for a doc improvement. pip is utterly bewildering to non-python devs

Cheers

Adrian

I’m trying to install on MacOSX Mojave (10.14.1)

Iam glad I stumbled on this after spending 30 mins on debugging issues with installing SAM in Mac. Here is what worked for me. Wish this documentation is updated - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-sam-cli-install-additional.html

pip install --user --upgrade setuptools
pip install --user ez_setup
pip install --user --upgrade aws-sam-cli

# Add below to .bash profile
USER_BASE_PATH=$(python -m site --user-base)
export PATH=$PATH:$USER_BASE_PATH/bin

The information about setuptools upgrade should definitely be mentioned in the official Readme file. Steps which are mentioned right now are not enough to succeed, as we see most of the times.
