Installation

Prerequisites

Running Serverless projects and functions locally with SAM CLI requires Docker to be installed and running. SAM CLI will use the DOCKER_HOST environment variable to contact the docker daemon.

Note for macOS and Windows users: SAM CLI requires that the project directory (or any parent directory) is listed in Docker file sharing options.

Verify that docker is working, and that you can run docker commands from the CLI (e.g. docker ps). You do not need to install/fetch/pull any containers – SAM CLI will do it automatically as required.

Using PIP

Step 1. Verify Python Version is 2.7 or 3.6.

$ python --version

If not installed, go download python and install

Step 2. Verify Pip is installed.

The easiest way to install sam is to use PIP.

$ pip --version

If not installed, download and install pip

Step 3. Install aws-sam-cli

$ pip install --user aws-sam-cli

Step 4. Adjust your PATH to include Python scripts installed under User's directory.

macOS & Linux

In Unix/Mac systems the command python -m site --user-base typically print ~/.local path, so that you'll need to add /bin to obtain the script path

NOTE: As explained in the Python Developer's Guide, the User's directory where the scripts are installed is ~/.local/bin for Unix/Mac.

# Find your Python User Base path (where Python --user will install packages/scripts)
$ USER_BASE_PATH=$(python -m site --user-base)

# Update your preferred shell configuration
-- Standard bash --> ~/.bash_profile
-- ZSH           --> ~/.zshrc
$ export PATH=$PATH:$USER_BASE_PATH/bin

Restart or Open up a new terminal and verify that the installation worked:

# Restart current shell
$ exec "$SHELL"
$ sam --version

Windows

In Windows systems the command py -m site --user-site typically print %APPDATA%\Roaming\Python<VERSION>\site-packages, so you'll need to remove the last \site-packages folder and replace it with the \Scripts one.

$ python -m site --user-base

Using file explorer, go to the folder indicated in the output, and look for the Scripts folder. Visually confirm that sam Application is inside this folder.

Copy the File Path.

NOTE: As explained in the Python Developer's Guide, the User's directory where the scripts are installed is %APPDATA%\Python\Scripts for Windows.

Seach Windows for Edit the system environment variables.

Select Environmental Variables.

Under System variables, select Path.

Select New and enter the file path to the Python Scripts folder.

Step 5. Verify that sam is installed

Restart or Open up a new terminal and verify that the installation worked:

# Restart current shell
$ sam --version

Upgrading

sam can be upgraded via pip:

$ pip install --user --upgrade aws-sam-cli

Previous CLI Versions must be uninstalled first (0.2.11 or below) and then follow the Installation steps above:

$ npm uninstall -g aws-sam-local

Advanced installations

Build From Source

First, install Python(2.7 or 3.6) on your machine, then run the following:

# Clone the repository
$ git clone [email protected]/awslabs/aws-sam-cli.git

# cd into the git
$ cd aws-sam-cli

# pip install the repository
$ pip install --user -e .

Install with PyEnv

# Install PyEnv (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#installation)
$ brew update
$ brew install pyenv

# Initialize pyenv using bash_profile
$ echo -e 'if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then\n  eval "$(pyenv init -)"\nfi\nexport PATH="~/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
# or using zshrc
$ echo -e 'if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then\n  eval "$(pyenv init -)"\nfi\nexport PATH="~/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

# restart the shell
$ exec "$SHELL"

# Install Python 2.7
$ pyenv install 2.7.14
$ pyenv local 2.7.14

# Install the CLI
$ pip install --user aws-sam-cli

# Verify your installation worked
$ sam –version

Troubleshooting

Mac Issues

  1. TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION:

If you get an error something similar to:

Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/click/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION] tlsv1 alert protocol version (_ssl.c:590) - skipping

then you are probably using the default version of Python that came with your Mac. This is outdated. So make sure you install Python again using homebrew and try again:

$ brew install python

Once installed then repeat the Installation process
