s3cmd Tools Installation Failing

[gowrann]

Hi,
Trying to install s3cmd tools.

I have added in the repo

wget http://s3tools.org/repo/RHEL_6/s3tools.repo

But when i run

yum install s3cmd

I get dependency errors:

[[email protected] yum.repos.d]# yum install s3cmd

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

I see a similar issue on Amazon with a solution to use 'epel' repo:

But not too sure if this will conflict with cPanel set up....

Any thoughts on best way forward - I previously have installed s3cmd on a cPanel VPS with no issues but now I have this python-elementree dependency.

Hello

You may want to consider downloading the source code package directly if you prefer to not use the "epel" repository. Here is an example of how to do this:

cd /root
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/s3tools/files/s3cmd/1.5.0-alpha3/s3cmd-1.5.0-alpha3.tar.gz/download
tar -zxvf s3cmd-1.5.0-alpha3.tar.gz
cd s3cmd-1.5.0-alpha3
python ./setup.py install
python
 >>> import S3

Note that the download location and directory path depend on the version you decide to install.

Thank you.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the reply - yes that would solve the install.

If I wanted to use the 'epel' repo so the package is kept up to date - how do i get that working with cPanel

I tried to enable:

[[email protected] ~]# yum --enablerepo epel
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security

The error says epel repository is not installed. You will have to install it first.
