Hi, I am encountering an issue while trying to run the extractor using a state backend in Meltano (version 3.4.1). In the

meltano.yml

file, we have configured the S3 path. However, when I run:

meltano --environment=dev run tap-stripe target-snowflake

I get the following error message:

boto3 required but not installed. Install meltano[s3] to use S3 as a state backend. state_backend=AWS S3
2025-01-16T13:13:02.565031Z [error] Cannot start plugin tap-stripe: Failed to retrieve state

Can you please advise on how to resolve this issue?

You need to have Meltano installed with the

s3

extra:

pipx install 'meltano[s3]==3.4.1'

thanks!
