How To Install Opencv-python On Amazon Elastic Beanstalk

I've been developing a Python application locally, and now want to deploy it to Amazon Elastic Beanstalk, but I have hit the following error: Downloading/unpacking opencv-python==2

Solution 1:

Here are some options if you are able to consider workarounds.

With AWS Elastic Beanstalk

• AWS EB supports Windows Server 2012 and 2008

  Since your installer appears to be a Windows executable, you might consider deploying on Windows. https://aws.amazon.com/net/

• Use Docker to package Fedora platform to run on EB's AMI Linux host.

  Elastic Beanstalk supports Docker. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_docker.html

  Here is an example of a Docker buildfile for opencv on python. https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/ibotdotout/python-opencv/

Without AWS Elastic Beanstalk

• Other Linux distribution

  If you don't absolutely require Elastic Beanstalk, what about running Fedora? These installation instructions are straightforward.

  http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/doc/py_tutorials/py_setup/py_setup_in_fedora/py_setup_in_fedora.html (basically yum install numpy opencv* )

  You can use EC2 without Elastic Beanstalk.

Solution 2:

The easy workaround for now, is to install pip 1.2.1, which does not require SSL:

curl -O https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pip/pip-1.2.1.tar.gz
tar xvfz pip-1.2.1.tar.gz
cd pip-1.2.1
python setup.py install

Maybe that can help you

Solution 3:

I am running OpenCV with Python support on Amazon EC2 on dedicated instances of Ubuntu 14.04. I had to install and compile from source to get a reliable stack with python.
