Error `/bin/sh: ec2: command not found` after new saws installation into virtualenv

[lancelakey]

I just installed saw into a virtualenv using the steps below. When I enter commands into saw it's like they're being sent directly to /bin/sh Any idea what might cause this?

16:37 $ python -V

Hi @lancelakey

saws> ec2
/bin/sh: ec2: command not found

saws> ec2 describe-instances
/bin/sh: ec2: command not found

Looking at the info you posted, it seems you are not including the aws command.

saws requires you to prefix your commands with aws just like with the aws-cli.

Does running this work?

saws> aws ec2 describe-instances

[lancelakey]

Ha! I missed that. Yes, that works perfectly. Thanks!

saws> aws ec2 describe-regions --region-names us-east-1
{
    "Regions": [
        {
            "Endpoint": "ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com", 
            "RegionName": "us-east-1"
        }
    ]
}
