Install Python 2.7 from homebrew, make sure openssl is installed first (otherwise you will get errors with the importing hashlib).
brew install openssl
brew link openssl --force
brew install python --with-brewed-openssl
brew link python --force
You may get a permission error linking the python 2.7 in /usr/local/Framework with homebrew. To fix change the owner on the '/usr/local/Framework' and link again.
sudo mkdir /usr/local/Framework
sudo chown -R $USER:admin /usr/local/Framework
brew link python
Install AWB EB CLI
curl -s https://s3.amazonaws.com/elasticbeanstalk-cli-resources/install-ebcli.py | python
Init Elastic Beanstalk environment, you will need the AWS access key, secret key - the root key containing this information would of been generated, and should be stored somewhere safe
eb init
You can deploy your instance after making changes.
eb deploy
You may experience issues with using homebrew python and the EB CLI install script, as this script uses pip install --user which is disabled for brewed Python due to a bug in distutils. This results in the following error :
error: can't combine user with with prefix
As a result, the quickest way to fix would be to manually download the python 2.7 from http://www.python.org, uninstall homebrewed python, and rerun the EB CLI install script.
brew uninstall python
Install Python 2.7 package (eg. https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.10/python-2.7.10-macosx10.6.pkg)
curl -s https://s3.amazonaws.com/elasticbeanstalk-cli-resources/install-ebcli.py | python
You may get a error symlinking eb to /usr/local/bin, to fix :
sudo ln -s ~/.ebvenv/bin/eb /usr/local/bin/eb
