I'm trying to run a flask application which has pandas dependency. Without having python-devel installed, pandas cannot be installed. So first I need to install gcc-c++ and python devel according to this thread: 'gcc' failed during pandas build on AWS Elastic Beanstalk
Now, my .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml looks like:
branch-defaults:
default:
environment: flask-env
group_suffix: null
global:
application_name: flask-sample-app
branch: null
default_ec2_keyname: flask-sample-app
default_platform: Python 3.4
default_region: eu-west-1
include_git_submodules: true
instance_profile: null
platform_name: null
platform_version: null
profile: null
repository: null
sc: null
workspace_type: Application
packages:
yum:
gcc-c++: []
python-devel: []
But after successful eb deploy command, I connect to it via eb ssh and see that it wasn't installed. Is my config.yml correct?
Pandas and NumPy seem to give the most trouble whatever way you go to deploy something. I haven't used elastic-beanstalk myself but have done it direct on servers and in docker.
Can see one difference with what you have and what worked for me. I think you need both gcc and g++ as per this
So perhaps add a line before those last lines of yours:
packages:
yum:
gcc: []
gcc-c++: []
python-devel: []
Am just translating accross what worked in another area.
When I created a yaml file in .ebextensions instead of .elasticbeanstalk, it worked. I was simply putting the yaml file under the wrong directory.
.elasticbeanstalk/pandas.yml:
packages:
yum:
gcc-c++: []
python3?-devel.x*: []
I got error while trying to install python-devel: []:
Command failed on instance. Return code: 1 Output: Yum does not have python-devel available for installation
So the correct devel package name, in my case, is either 'python27-devel.x86_64' or 'python35-devel.x86_64'
