The AWS github issue is Provide linux installation without homebrew #1424. Please monitor the update in the github issue for the latest status.
AWS finally decided to provide non brew approach.
we have work currently underway to provide a better install experience via pyinstaller. In the near term we will continue publishing to brew to support people that are already using it, as well as pip but the core artifact will be produced using pyinstaller and hopefully allow for a better experience for Linux and macOS users, and it is my hope this will also en courage downstream packages to be published for Linux distributions eg yum and deb repos similar to how AWS cli is commonly available.
Please suggest a way to install AWS SAM in Linux without using homebrew. AWS documentation tells to use homebrew, however there should be a way without using brew.
Installing the AWS SAM CLI on Linux Step 5: Install the AWS SAM CLI
Follow these steps to install the AWS SAM CLI using Homebrew:
brew tap aws/tap
brew install aws-sam-cli
I think the docs are bad written. running
pip install aws-sam-cli
installs everything OK```
git clone https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sam-cli.git && cd aws-sam-cli
python setup.py install
As installing SAM CLI with homebrew is time consuming task, one can simply do following to install it :
python3.7 -m pip install aws-sam-cliP.s If you face any error due to virtual environment or any python error please run the last command with sudo : sudo python3.7 -m pip install aws-sam-cli
