Installing awscli on Synology

This will allow you to do useful things such as syncing a S3 bucket to disk. Working on my DS918+.

1. Add a custom package source for cphub.net. From Package Center, select Settings -> Package Sources and add http://www.cphub.net.

   

2. In the Community packages section, search for Easy Bootstrap Installer and install ipkg (not opkg).

   

3. With ipkg now installed, use this to install Python 2.7.

   sudo /opt/bin/ipkg install py27-setuptools
   

4. Then install pip and awscli.

   sudo /opt/bin/easy_install-2.7 pip
   sudo /opt/local/bin/pip install awscli
