Answer 1

You got this error because you didn't initialize your AWS Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Key you should install first awscli by runing pip install awscli.

After you need to configure aws: aws configure

After this you can run eb init

Answer 2

Ran into this error as well. Not sure of the root cause. But am still on Yosemite. When I tried AWS's install script curl -s https://s3.amazonaws.com/elasticbeanstalk-cli-resources/install-ebcli.py | python It downloaded EB CLI 3.7.3 (Python 2.7.1). A co-worker tried on his machine using homebrew and (since he hadn't run brew update in awhile) managed to get version 3.5.4 which worked perfectly.

Looks like Amazon may have broken something in the updates for Yosemite users so rather than wait I just downloaded the working version and had no issues running eb init

Here's the steps I took:

1. Amazon created a symlink to version 3.7 in usr/local/bin called eb. Remove this link rm /usr/local/bin/eb
2. cd /usr/local/Library
3. Use homebrew's brew log awsebcli to find the sha for the updated commit of version 3.5.4 (21e20f5).
4. Run git checkout 21e20f5 /usr/local/Library/Formula/aws-elasticbeanstalk.rb
5. Run brew install awsebcli and eb init should now run properly.

Hope that helps!
