EC2 Linux AMI Installation Instructions

Tested on a stock Linux AMI (micro instance.)

• Create a stock Linux AMI
• Install NodeJS. Instructions on this this blog entry:

    sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://nodejs.tchol.org/repocfg/amzn1/nodejs-stable-release.noarch.rpm
    sudo yum install nodejs-compat-symlinks npm

• Install packages

    yum install ant mercurial pl pl-devel

• Get the superconductor code if you have not already

    git clone git://github.com/Superconductor/superconductor.git sc

• If you are on a micro instance, switch to web-service branch to get prepackaged node modules:

    git checkout web-service

• Set "sc/compiler/local.properties" to point to the installed swipl (from above). It should be something like

    swipl.home=/usr/lib64/swipl-5.10.2/
    swipl.runtime=/usr/lib64/swipl-5.10.2/lib/x86_64-linux/

• Make sure JAVA_HOME is pointing to a location with javac. The stock Linux AMI has OpenJDK and defaults to an incomplete Oracle version (no javac). To switch to

    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/

• Compile the compiler

    cd sc/compiler
    ant
