Installation

Use in a lambda package

You need to package the lambda together with the cfmacro library and its own requirements.

CFMacro also includes a utility to package your lambda with dependent requirements in order to be used in AWS Cloudformation.

In order to prepare the lambda you need to install the library on your local development machine first.

Install via PIP

To install Cloud Formation Macro Toolkit, run this command in your terminal:

$ pip install --user cfmacro

This is the preferred method to install Cloud Formation Macro Toolkit, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.
