aws help fails with no such file or directory #510

Closed vkivinie closed 10 years ago

vkivinie commented 10 years ago

Hi,

I just did a clean install of latest Debian 7.1, python 2.7.3 and aws-cli 1.2.5 (installed via pip). Problem is that I cannot get the "aws help" command working. Just to be sure I installed the aws-cli to another Debian server straight from Github without using pip but the problem is exactly the same.

Below is the debug log from the command:

From the output above it looks like it's trying to call less -R but not finding the less command. Do you have that installed? What if you try changing the MANPAGER environment variable (MANPAGER=cat aws help)?

vkivinie commented 10 years ago

Wow, doh how could I have missed that. :)

You are right, less was missing and installing it fixed the problem.

@jamesls thanks for this post...after prolonged search i found this and aws cli is working for me now. I am getting a different error now as below, "The authorization mechanism you have provided is not supported. Please use AWS4-HMAC-SHA256". I am running this inside a docker container. Please help on this issue.
