There isn't a specific AWS Python package manager for installing Streamlit on an EC2 instance. The error you're encountering suggests that you're trying to install Streamlit in a system-managed Python environment, which is not recommended.
Instead, to install Streamlit on an EC2 instance, you should follow these best practices:
-
Create a virtual environment: This isolates your project dependencies from the system-wide Python installation. You can create a virtual environment using:
python3 -m venv venv
-
Activate the virtual environment:
source venv/bin/activate
-
Upgrade pip within the virtual environment:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
-
Install Streamlit using pip within the activated virtual environment:
pip install streamlit
This approach allows you to install and use Streamlit without interfering with the system-managed Python packages.
If you prefer not to use a virtual environment, you could consider using the --user flag with pip to install Streamlit for the current user only:
pip install --user streamlit
However, using a virtual environment is generally recommended as it provides better isolation and management of dependencies.
Remember to configure your EC2 instance's security group to allow inbound traffic on the port Streamlit uses (default is 8501) if you want to access the Streamlit application from outside the instance.
