How to install boto3 on Ubuntu 18.04?
The log you posted informs you that the commands pip
and python-pip
are not already installed. So, if you still use python 2 (do not recommend), you can install pip
or python-pip
sudo apt-get install pip
sudo apt-get install python-pip
and then install boto3: sudo pip install boto3
.
Otherwise, if you already use Python 3, you can just install pip3
or python3-pip
sudo apt-get install pip3
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
and then install boto3: sudo pip3 install boto3

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Do not run pip install --upgrade pip
, otherwise the following steps are also needed:
from https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5240
vi /usr/bin/pip3
change the broken from pip import main
import to
from pip._internal import main
and then finally
pip3 install boto3
it's quite simple, just install it from the terminal
apt install python-boto3
