Install Python Dependency and Libraries on AWS Lambda

This video shows you how to install Python Dependencies and Libraries on AWS Lambda using a Zip folder.

The Libraries used in the deployment package are Pandas, Numpy, and Requests but you can substitute them with any that you want such as SciPy.

I watch similar videos on the topic but your pip install command was the only one that actually worked thanks for the video!

thank you so much for this video. Like some comments below, your video was the only one that worked for me. You kept it nice and simple. Thanks!!

I have no words to express how i feel now. Thank you so much! I had the same problem, but i was working with Python 3.12 and the module was requests. I just changed the version in the command and run it, after that i just uploaded the zip and it's working as expected.

I can't thank you enough man, I spent hours on this sh!t and this is the only solution that worked thank you so much!

It seems that the console won't allow us to edit the code if we use this approach. Is there an alternative that would allow us to edit the code post the zip upload?

Excellent. Also, what about packaging the wand libraries similar to this ? I had a hard time on setting this up in the lambda, but didn't get it succeeded.
