This project provides the samlocal command line, a simple wrapper around the AWS SAM CLI for use with LocalStack.

Simply use pip to install samlocal as a Python library on your machine:

pip install aws-sam-cli-local

The samlocal command has the exact same usage as the underlying sam command. The main difference is that for commands like samlocal deploy the operations will be executed against the LocalStack endpoints (http://localhost:4566 by default) instead of real AWS endpoints.
