Install s3cmd on CentOs

s3cmd.md

Installing s3cmd on CentOs

1. As a superuser, go to /etc/yum.repos.d

   cd /etc/yum.repos.d

2. Download the repo file

   wget http://s3tools.org/repo/RHEL_6/s3tools.repo

3. Install the s3cmd

   sudo yum install s3cmd

4. Perform yum upgrade to get the very latest s3cmd for your system

   sudo yum upgrade

5. Configure the s3

   s3cmd --configure

If running this shows error, you might need to downgrade the python version to 2.6. You can do this by

`sudo nano /usr/bin/s3cmd`

and add 2.6 to the first line

`#!/usr/bin/python2.6`

Now, s3cmd --configure should work fine.

6. Feed the credentials of your bucket.

Cannot get configure to work - any ideas?

$ which python
/usr/bin/python

$ python -V
Python 2.6.6

$ s3cmd --configure
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/s3cmd", line 2013, in
except ParameterError, e:
NameError: name 'ParameterError' is not defined

I change the HashBang on first line of s3cmd to alternative version in /usr/local/bin/...
/usr/local/bin/python3.6 - produced a syntax error.
/usr/local/bin/python2.7 - got Problem: ImportError: No module named S3.Exceptions

I tried to install as suggested by https ://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd/issues/298
Get same error with /usr/local/bin/python2.7
$ wget --no-check-certificate https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/python-dateutil/python-dateutil-2.2.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf python-dateutil-2.2.tar.gz
$ cd python-dateutil-2.2
$ /usr/local/bin/python2.7 setup.py install

thx!

nice job.

Thanks

It worked here in another way too:

yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install s3cmd
