How to Install Copilot on Linux Using Cloud9 Service

In this guide, we've opted to utilize the Cloud9 service to deploy Copilot, a powerful command-line interface from AWS. It's worth noting that the steps provided can be followed in any Linux or MacOS environment.




Step 2.1: Check Copilot Installation Status

Optional: Verify whether Copilot is already installed on your machine by executing the following command:

copilot

If Copilot is not installed, you should receive a "command not found" response; if it's installed, a set of instructions will be displayed.


Step 2.2: Retrieve Copilot Files

Execute the following command to fetch the necessary files for Copilot installation:

sudo curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/copilot \

https://github.com/aws/copilot-cli/releases/latest/download/copilot-linux \

&& sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/copilot \

&& copilot --help

Step 2.3: Navigate to Downloaded Directory

Move into the directory where the Copilot files have been downloaded:

cd example

Inspecting Imported Files:

Review the list of files imported in the previous command, which essentially clones a project from GitHub.


Reviewing Files:

Examine the contents of the key files—Dockerfile and "index.html":

# Inspect Dockerfile

cat Dockerfile

# Inspect index.html

cat index.html

Dockerfile Details:

The Dockerfile specifies configurations for nginx, a networking service, exposing port 80.

index.html Content:

The "index.html" file contains a basic web page, serving as the interface for the deployed application.

By following these steps, you are ready to deploy Copilot on your Linux or MacOS environment, leveraging the Cloud9 service for efficient deployment and management.
