Why install Python packages from ActiveState?

Built from source code

We build all packages from known and vetted source code. The source code is stored indefinitely on our secure supply chain. This reduces the likelihood of specific types of exploits while eliminating typosquatting.

VariesVaries

Support for OS-level dependencies

Artifact dependencies extend to the operating-system level. For example, when building XML libraries for Python, we also build Expat from its C source files.

Vetted new source releases

Source is updated as new versions are released, but after a manual and automatic review process and at 24-48 hour delay compared to the main public repository.

Varies

Artifacts built for Linux, MacOS, Windows

Isolated and ephemeral build environments

Build stages are conducted in single-use build environments that are discarded after the build is complete. Builds are run automatically based on known and version-controlled configurations.

Varies

Revision-controlled build history

The ActiveState Platform maintains a catalog of all source code used to build artifacts, along with all available metadata. This information is revision-controlled and immutable (except when a change is essential for security or privacy reasons).

Varies

Machine-readable SBOM

We store all provenance metadata available for all artifacts, exposing it as machine-readable SBOM files.

Supply chain levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA) Level 4

SLSA is led by an initial cross-organization, vendor-neutral steering group committed to improving the security ecosystem for everyone. SLSA Level 4 requires two-person review of all changes and a hermetic, reproducible build process.

How do you install awscli globally and in a virtual environment?
Installing awscli Globally

Copy (either ctrl+c or just click the “copy” button) and paste the snippet at the top of this page into your command line. As with all Python packages installed with Python’s default package manager, pip, awscli will be installed to %PYTHONHOME%/site-packages.

Installing awscli in a Virtual Environment

You can also work in a virtual environment to prevent conflicts. You can use pip to install a specific version of the awscli package into a virtual environment  for Python 3 projects with the following command:

python
python3 -m venv <path_to_env>

venv will create a virtual Python installation in the <env_name> folder.

Activate <env_name> with the following command:

On Linux

python
source <env_name>/bin/activate

On Windows

You can pip install awscli into your virtual environment with the following command:

python
python -m pip install awscli

Where does awscli install to?

As with all Python packages installed with pip, awscli will be installed to %PYTHONHOME%/site-packages. This will always be true for a global AWS cli installation. If you’re using a virtual environment (like virtualenv) awscli will be installed differently, depending on where you created the directory for your virtual environment (i.e,. C:\program files\myproject for Windows installations)..

Does awscli work on Windows, Linux and Mac?

Yes, awscli will work Windows, Mac, and Linux distributions like Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, etc.

How is awscli commonly used?

Awscli provides direct access to the public APIs of AWS services that can be controlled from the command line tool and automated through scripts. As long as you have an AWS account and the proper permissions, you can use AWS CLI commands to configure AWS services, such as AWS S3. You can see the full list of options here.
