Install fails when trying to install on Ubuntu 18.04

[tomroima]

Hello, i have been trying to install this CLI to be able to ssh into my elasticbeanstalk machine, but it fails.

At the beggining it failed because it lacked zlib1g, but i solved it with: sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev.

Then it failed because it lacked the '_ctypes', then i did: sudo apt-get install libffi-dev and went on.

Now i'm stuck at this, after this message:

Last 10 log lines:

	esac; \
	 ./python -E -m ensurepip \
		$ensurepip --root=/ ; \
fi

Did anyone else hit this problem? Is there anything else that can be done?

Thanks in advance

@tomroima , thanks for reaching out. We should update installation instructions for Ubuntu to include zlib, openssl, libffi, etc.

As for the issue you are facing now, I think I have an idea of what the problem is, but I need to run a few tests.

Can you delete the .pyenv-repository in your home directory and rerun the bundled_installer? If that doesn't work, install Python through other means and run the ebcli_installer.py as a Python script.

[tomroima]

Thank you for the quick response @rahulrajaram. I tried to do what you said above, but i didn't work and the error was the same.

When i tried to run it as a python script, it doesn't find virtualenv, so it fails, but after installing the dependency with sudo apt-get install virtualenv it finished the installation.

Thank you @rahulrajaram

[rahulrajaram]

@tomroima , thanks for your response. I am curious to know if the Python installation failure pointed you to a log file. I bet there is valuable information there as to why installation failed. Can you check if you are being pointed to a log file in the /tmp directory in the output?

[tomroima]

@rahulrajaram Sure, here goes the gist.

I'm having the same issue on Fedora 30

I've checked and I have both bzip2, openssl and readline installed and up-to-date at bzip2-1.0.6-29.fc30.x86_64, openssl-1:1.1.1b-5.fc30.x86_64, and readline-8.0-2.fc30.x86_64. Is there an issue with version compatibility?

[rahulrajaram]

@tomroima , from the build log, it looks like missing openssl is causing the problem. apt install libssl-dev should fix it. Let me know if that's not so. This would be another good tip to add to the readme.

[ltieman]

Just wanted to note that in my instance of the issue, I've validated that openssl is installed.

However, it appears it needs the -devel versions of the libraries.

[rahulrajaram]

@ltieman , that's because you are on Fedora. @tomroima is using Ubuntu. Thanks for the useful information, though.

Hi, I am also arriving at this error using the install script on Mac OSX, I'm getting messages about OpenSSL python extension missing. While that may be a personal problem, the install script is exiting with this echo_with_indentation which is a function not defined in the bash script. It took a while to finally scroll up at the real error message, "ERROR: The Python ssl extension was not compiled"

I've tried using brew install for python, openssl, readline, and everything looks up to date. I'd appreciate any advice on how to get past this -- this is the first time I've used this macbook for pyenv so I don't know if it could be some kind of version conflict (brew install python installs 3.7.3)

[rahulrajaram]

@jazzyjackson , this should really have been a separate issue. FFR, please create new Issues for independent problems.

That being, to get around your problem install virtualenv, and then run the file, scripts/ebcli_installer.py as a Python script.

[jazzyjackson]

@rahulrajaram thanks for the recommendation

I arrived at this issue by searching for echo_with_indentation: command not found which threw me off for a while, so consider that my contribution to this ticket, I have the same output text as OP

[tomroima]

@rahulrajaram I have OpenSSL 1.1.0g 2 Nov 2017 installed on my system, and it still failed.
Anyways, i wanted to use this cli to gain ssh access to elastic beanstalk environments. I ended up needing a bastion host to communicate with the machines, and ended up using plain ssh through the bastion host.

[rahulrajaram]

@jazzyjackson , okay, good point.

@tomroima , sorry for the inconvenience.

... and it still failed.

Do you mean that despite being able to install eb as you have indicated here, you were unable to SSH into your instance?

[Mohammad-Kabajah]

if you install all of the following dependencies

sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev \
    libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev libffi-dev zlib1g-dev

the command will work,
worked for me after installing them,
you might also want to install docker: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/

[tomroima]

@rahulrajaram Sorry, i meant that even with openssl installed, the installation failed.
I was just able to try the command installing it from the python script.
The command failed probably because my instances were in a private network, or so i think. I just needed to ssh into the instances, which i accomplished by using the bastion host with the right permissions.

@Mohammad-Kabajah Thank you!!! your solution saved my day.
I had same problem as @jazzyjackson.
