When I run aws --version in a standard SLES 11.3 AWS build with a public IP, I get the following trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “/usr/bin/aws”, line 23, in   
sys.exit(main())  
File “/usr/bin/aws”, line 19, in main  
return awscli.clidriver.main()  
File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/awscli/clidriver.py”, line 45, in main  
driver = create\_clidriver()  
File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/awscli/clidriver.py”, line 54, in create\_clidriver  
event\_hooks=emitter)  
File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/awscli/plugin.py”, line 44, in load\_plugins  
modules = \_import\_plugins(plugin\_mapping)  
File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/awscli/plugin.py”, line 61, in \_import\_plugins  
module = **import** (path, fromlist=[module])  
File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/awscli/handlers.py”, line 24, in   
from awscli.customizations.ec2addcount import ec2\_add\_count  
File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/awscli/customizations/ec2addcount.py”, line 16, in   
from botocore.parameters import StringParameter  
ImportError: No module named parameters

The aws-cli package is installed but does not seem to be a part of any repositories. Is there an easy way to update the tools and/or get it working?

Hi  
There is a separate amazon-ec2 subforum here;  
[https://forums.suse.com/forumdisplay.php?94-Amazon-EC2](https://forums.suse.com/forumdisplay.php?94-Amazon-EC2)

You might get more specific help there, I do note they have a github  
site and instructions on how to update in the readme;
