EC2 Installation

EC2 Linux AMI Installation Instructions

Tested on a stock Linux AMI (micro instance.)

• Create a stock Linux AMI
• Install NodeJS
• Install packages

    yum install ant mercurial

• Install SWIPL (and complain to the package managers about broken SWIPL-JPL linkage)

  Warning: this takes awhile on a micro instance.

    wget http://www.swi-prolog.org/download/stable/src/pl-5.10.1.tar.gz
    tar -xvvf pl-5.10.1.tar.gz
    cd pl-5.10.1
    cp build.templ build

Edit near the top of the "build":

    PREFIX=/usr
    SUDO="sudo"
    export DISABLE_PKGS="ssl odbc xpce zlib"
    EXTRACFG+=" --enable-shared"

Build:

    chmod +x build
    sudo ./build

• Get the 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

    TODO

• 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
