s3tools manual installation (after yum failed)

gistfile1.sh

# I couldn't get s3cmd install using yum on some system, as the following error kept repeating itself. 

# --> Processing Dependency: python-elementtree for package: s3cmd-1.0.0-4.1.x86_64
# --> Finished Dependency Resolution
# Error: Package: s3cmd-1.0.0-4.1.x86_64 (s3tools)
#           Requires: python-elementtree
# You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
# You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

# after further research, no one seemed to offer a solid solution for the missing python-elementtree dependency, however a manual install of the package worked wonderfully, but was also hard to come by.
# this is how you can do it:

sudo su
cd /root
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/s3tools/files/s3cmd/1.0.1/s3cmd-1.0.1.tar.gz
tar -xzvf s3cmd-1.0.1.tar.gz
cd s3cmd-1.0.1
python setup.py install

# after the installation is complete run
s3cmd --configure

# then, s3cmd will be available to use
