Installation issues

[bcbeatty]

I'm trying the Installation for developers (w/ virtualenv + virtualenvwrapper).
A few issues:
add a line for "pip install virtualenv"

mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages beesenv
should be
virtualenv --no-site-packages beesenv

When I attempt
pip install -r requirements.txt
I get the following error

cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /W3 /GL /DNDEBUG /MT -Isrc/ -Isrc/inc-msvc/ -Ic:\users\beabri01\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\include -Ic:\users\beabri01\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\include "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.16299.0\shared" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.16299.0\um" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.16299.0\winrt" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.16299.0\ucrt" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\NETFXSDK\4.6.1\include\um" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\INCLUDE" /Tcsrc/winrand.c /Fobuild\temp.win-amd64-3.6\Release\src/winrand.obj

You may need to add cl.exe to your windows PATH variable

[bcbeatty]

I've added cl.exe to my path.
I now get this issue:

creating build\temp.win-amd64-3.6\Release\src

Try reverting back to Python 3.5.2 if you're using 3.6+

Otherwise it may be an issue with your Visual C++ installation. Are you able to use the VS2015 developer console to perform these commands?

[arkhan19]

is cl.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin ? or whichever location you added to PATH

[jpribyl]

Hey guys, hope this helps someone.. it seems that this has not been updated in a while. You will probably need the latest version of paramiko (not the one that the package thinks you need) which you can get with:

pip install -U paramiko

The default ami is not longer great. I used the standard aws hvm ubuntu instance (although you'll have to ssh into it and install apache2-utils) Anyone who is stuck on this step feel free to reach out and I'll send you the bash script that I toiled over for the better part of a week.

Additionally, if you are trying to use a .py then

import bees

will not work unless you copy bees.py from the package installation directory into your current directory.

And, if you're anything like me then you may need to change line 446 of bees.py from

    if basic_auth is not '':

to

    if basic_auth is not '' and basic_auth is not None:

good luck!

I'm getting the following error on Windows 10:

@bcbeatty this looks like a python2 / python3 issue to me.

python2 accepts print x
python3 requires print(x)

can you verify that you are using python3 for all of this? It looks like you're on windows.. I'm not a windows guy but on linux it would be something like which python or which pip. You may need to use pip3 install. I am on boto3 not boto2.

Also, I was unable to get the ~/.boto file to work, I had to add my aws keys as environment variables

[bcbeatty]

I'm using python 3.6, pip 18.0.
I am running on windows 10, which I don't think uses boto, it uses a console in Administrator mode

[jpribyl]

@bcbeatty
Can you try:

pip install boto3

or, if that fails installing from the github:

git clone git@github.com:boto/boto3.git
cd boto3
python setup.py install

[jpribyl]

Also, you should be using the most up to date version of bwmg. From the install instructions on their github page:

pip install https://github.com/newsapps/beeswithmachineguns/archive/master.zip

and not

pip install beeswithmachineguns

[bcbeatty]

@jpribyl sorry that didn't seem to change the error. I tried both pip install and python setup.py

[bcbeatty]

I'm getting the following error with
pip install https://github.com/newsapps/beeswithmachineguns/archive/master.zip

install.log
