Step-by-step instructions

python3 -m pip install awsiotsdk

python -m pip install awsiotsdk

# 1. Create a workspace directory to hold all the SDK files
mkdir sdk-workspace
cd sdk-workspace

# 2. Clone the repository. You could select the version of the SDK you desire to use.
git clone -b <SDK_VERSION> https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2.git

# 3. (Optional) Setup the version number of your local build. The default version 
#    for awsiotsdk is set to "1.0.0-dev", you can set the version number of the
#    local build in "aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/awsiot/__init__.py"
sed -i "s/__version__ = '1.0.0-dev'/__version__ = '<SDK_VERSION>'/" \
  aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2/awsiot/__init__.py

# 4. Install using Pip (use 'python' instead of 'python3' on Windows)
python3 -m pip install ./aws-iot-device-sdk-python-v2

Samples README

Please note that on Mac, once a private key is used with a certificate, that certificate-key pair is imported into the Mac Keychain. All subsequent uses of that certificate will use the stored private key and ignore anything passed in programmatically. Beginning in v1.7.3, when a stored private key from the Keychain is used, the following will be logged at the "info" log level:

static: certificate has an existing certificate-key pair that was previously imported into the Keychain.  Using key from Keychain instead of the one provided.
