Use s3-pit-restore - not recongized as an internal or external command

Question

Using project: https://github.com/angeloc/s3-pit-restore

S3-pit-restore seems like a useful point-in-time restore tool for Amazon S3. I followed the provided instructions to install this tool on Windows 10 Pro. Python and AWS CLI are running without any problems. s3-pit-restore files are residing in the same directory as Python, and the path is already set. It is not working for me.

Restoring AWS S3 bucket using s3-pit-restore discussed another issue. I am stuck on installation of this tool

The following steps are taken:

1. An AWS CLI profile was created and tested. It is working.
2. pip3 install s3-pit-restore
3. Customize the provided command according to my needs.

Error message on the command line:

's3-pit-restore' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Have anyone run this code successfully on a Windows 10 environment? Please let me know with the exact steps. I am feeling that new version of this code will only run in a Linux environment. Secondly, do you know any tool that can help achieve point-in-time file restoration from AWS S3?

Following Point-in-time restore for Amazon S3 buckets | AWS Storage Blog, I didn't get the desired result. I am still in the process of customizing it.

Answer 1

You are receiving the error:

's3-pit-restore' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This indicates that the Windows command-line cannot find a program called s3-pit-restore.

Therefore, try running:

python3 s3-pit-restore

If you were on Linux instead of Windows, you could chmod +x the script and then it would work fine because the first line of the file is:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

This tells Linux where to find the executable. This doesn't translate well to Windows.
