Title: Installing Python on Amazon EC2 Instance - A Step-by-Step Tutorial
Introduction:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) provides scalable compute capacity in the cloud. In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of setting up a Python environment on an EC2 instance. This guide assumes you already have an active AWS account and have launched an EC2 instance.
Update the package manager to ensure you have the latest information about available packages.
Amazon Linux instances typically come with Python pre-installed. However, it's a good practice to install the latest version. Use the following commands to install Python and pip:
Check the installed Python version and pip by running the following commands:
You should see the installed Python version and pip version in the output.
Creating a virtual environment helps manage dependencies for your Python projects. Install virtualenv using pip:
Create a virtual environment:
Activate the virtual environment:
If your project requires additional packages, install them using pip. For example:
When you're done working in the virtual environment, deactivate it:
You've successfully installed Python on your Amazon EC2 instance. You can now use this environment to run your Python applications or host web services. Remember to manage your dependencies using virtual environments for a clean and isolated setup.
Note: Ensure that your security groups and network ACLs allow SSH access to your EC2 instance before attempting to connect.
