Prerequisites:

• python3x
• boto3
• argparse
• pip
• virtualenv
• aws credentials configured

You can do things the difficult way and install packages from pip-requirements.txt

pip install -r pip-requirements.txt

Then you should be able to simply run

python top-ami.py profile

The only argument top-ami accepts, is the "profile" for aws credentials. By default, top-ami will always use default profile.

./top-ami.py prod
