very good - but should check http://sourceforge.net/projects/s3tools/files/s3cmd/ for newer releases like

http://sourceforge.net/projects/s3tools/files/s3cmd/1.5.0-beta1/s3cmd-1.5.0-beta1.tar.gz

Leaving this for reference (s3cmd 1.6.0):

sudo apt-get -y install python-setuptools
wget http://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/s3tools/s3cmd/1.6.0/s3cmd-1.6.0.tar.gz
tar xvfz s3cmd-1.6.0.tar.gz
cd s3cmd-1.6.0
sudo python setup.py install

I've installed s3cmd in my debian local machine using apt-get install s3cmd

bobflorian commented Jun 22, 2016

@medbouzid -- using the debian sources you will get an outdated version. installing from source is preferred.

On Ubuntu 16.04 Server it installs version 1.6.1 with apt-get install s3cmd

Download the latest version of the s3cmd using this link 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/s3tools/?source=typ_redirect'
unzip the folder using 'tar xvfz s3cmd-2.0.1.tar.gz'
remove the zip folder using 'rm s3cmd-2.0.1.tar.gz'
cd s3cmd-2.0.1 to the folder
run 'sudo python setup.py install'

s4cmd seems to be a decent alternative:

pip install s4cmd
