II. Skip the install and go to the cloud¶
BASE-9 executables are available as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) images. Up-to-date instance IDs are listed in the release descriptions at http://github.com/argiopetech/base/releases. An Amazon Web Services (AWS) account is required to use these instances.
To run your code on EC2,
- Log in to your AWS account
- Navigate to EC2
- Navigate to the “Instances” pane
- Click “Launch Instance”
- Choose “Community AMIs”
- Enter the AMI code for the version of BASE-9 you would like to run
- Select “Review and Launch”, then “Launch”
- Wait for the instance to launch
- use rsync/scp to copy your data to the public IP of the instance
- Login to your instance with SSH
The default user name is ec2-user
. There is no root password by default.
BASE-9 executables are in /usr/local/bin
(should be in the path). Current models
(appropriate for the installed version of BASE-9) are in /usr/local/share/base-models
.
The instance operating system is the newest release of FreeBSD 10. The tcsh, csh, sh, and bash shells are available. VI, VIM, Emacs, and nano are pre-installed.
