Please, download the correct package for your distribution or the tarball. Euca2ools are written in Python, relying on the Boto library and the M2Crypto cryptography and SSL toolkit. The acceptable versions for the dependencies are:
- Python (2.5 or higher)
- Boto (1.9b)
- M2Crypto (0.20.2 or higher)
In what follows substitute the desired version (e.g., 1.3.1) for $VERSION either manually or by setting a shell variable.
export VERSION="1.3.1"
You will need to download euca2ools-$VERSION-src-deps.tar.gz, which contains boto-1.9b.tar.gz and M2Crypto-0.20.2.tar.gz.
Build the dependencies and install as follows.
You will need to install python-dev, swig, help2man, and libssl-dev to build the following libraries.
Download euca2ools-$VERSION.tar.gz and euca2ools-$VERSION-src-deps.tar.gz. Below, we will assume that these tarballs are located in the current directory.
