Issues With Installation Instructions: CodeBuild, --user flag, LinuxBrew about aws-sam-developer-guide HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for sharing feedback. It makes sense. The --user flag was primarily to prevent needing sudo on dev workstations.

We want to publish to apt-get, yum etc but don't yet have it implemented. If you know how or have scripts for it, please do send a PR. It would be a great addition.

I am going to move this issue to SAM CLI repo because that is where it belongs.

@sanathkr, thought you might also be interested in my feedback above.

@mark-hirayama Can you move this Issue to SAM CLI repo?

from aws-sam-developer-guide.

@sanathkr Thanks for the rapid response! The main issue for me was struggling to get CodeBuild working. I'd love for AWS to take a closer look at making sure there's a well-written, single source of docs on using SAM with CodeSuite because it's... well... all AWS' tooling. ;)

Happy to contribute feedback from this project both as I go along and at the end.

I am woefully ignorant of authoring packages, but I don't think it would take too long to learn based off a solid example: https://github.com/jen20/hashidays-nyc/tree/master/packaging/deb-vault

Packages should also include something for Windows using Chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org

I can say firsthand that Chocolatey packages are easy to write, especially if you're familar with NuGet (.NET's packaging system) as they use the same format.

💯Thanks for the doc feedback.

Thanks for the examples. We have a MSI installer for Windows, but chocolatey will be good to add.

Have you written chocolatey packages before? Can it vend Python tools thru Chocolatey?
