Recently I’ve started using AWS in order to serve my web applications. I’m quite experienced in managing my own web servers (Linux and macOS) but I’m kind of a newbie on AWS, Google App Engine, etc so a short introduction is in order.
I’ve subscribed to the so-called t2.micro which has 1GB RAM and eligible for free tier and I’ve opened the browser based the so-called cloudshell, I couldn’t yet manage to connect to my AWS instance? over a real Terminal like the iTerm or PuTTYbut that’s not so important now.
So, over the cloudshell I’ve changed into ~/Downloads and
curl -O https://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.16.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf nginx-1.16.1.tar.gz && cd nginx-1.16.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx-1.16.1 --without-pcre
It complained about gcc not being available. After some Google search:
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
installed them and they did work fine.
Question: After reboot or logout or timeout whatever it’s called, the “Development Tools” were gone i.e. I had to install them again and more critically, after I installed the nginx into /usr/local/nginx-1.16.1 it was deleted, too. How to install the “Development Tools” and more importantly the applications into /usr/local in a permanent manner?
