Package ec2-api-tools is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'ec2-api-tools' has no installation candidate

Where do I get ec2-api-tools?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EC2APITools looks too old.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EC2StartersGuide also looks too old.

I would like to apt-get install these tools: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html#install-bundle-user

Update: corrected the link to the tools I want. I want the python based tools, not the java based tools.

Sorry to answer my own question.

ec2-api-tools is replaced by awscli.

I couldn't remember the name awscli, hence my question.

It would be nice if the ec2-api-tools virtual package were updated to point to awscli package.

$ sudo apt-get install awscli
