ec2-describe-images -o self -o amazon returns nothing -


i want install ec2-api-tools. follows instructions on links https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ec2startersguide

but when give ec2-describe-images -o self -o amazon on command line, returns nothing.there no error. waits waiting input. wrong have done?

thanks helps.

i hope have set environment variable correctly (and set appropriate privilege, remember it's chmod 400). e.g.

$ export ec2_private_key=/path/to/pk/pk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pem $ export ec2_cert=/path/to/cert/cert-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pem

also, apart command looks good. also, keep in mind owner amazon has lots of amis listed.. may not super quick see result.. might need wait couple 10s of seconds.

please read these:

  1. installing amazon ec2 command line tools
  2. latest cli reference amazon api command line
