Error on running python file on EC2 machine

Question

I am trying to run a python file on an EC2 machine with Amazon Linux installed. I used putty to connect and when I try to run the file I get this output.

[ec2-user@myIP ~]$ python oasis_live.py
  File "oasis_live.py", line 36
    async def on_ready(self):
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[ec2-user@myIP ~]$ python3 oasis_live.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "oasis_live.py", line 3, in <module>
    import discord
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord'
[ec2-user@myIP ~]$

This is very confusing to me since the code works perfectly fine on my PC.

Try to pip install discord in your EC2 instance – Guilherme Marques Mar 01 '21 at 20:08 — Guilherme Marques, Mar 01 '21 at 20:08

You have two different errors:

python oasis_live.py most likely is the python2.7 interpreter and the syntax is incompatible
python3 oasis_live.py is the python3.x interpreter, which probably is the one you want to use since you use async functions. Your code seems to rely on a 3rd party dependency called discord. To use that, you need to install it first, e.g. with pip3 install discord

You probably need to install the dependencies on the EC2 Instance too. Try to pip install all the dependencies that you need. Including discord (pip install discord)
