Installing Flow on a New EC2 instance

Note: For additional information about Flow installations, see our generic Installation Guide 

Before beginning, send the MAC address of the EC2 instance to licensing@partek.com. The output of ifconfig will suffice. Given this information, we Partek employees will create a license for your AWS server. MAC addresses will remain the same if you stop and start your after stopping and starting the Partek Flow EC2 instance. If you find the MAC address does change, let our licensing department know and we can add your license to our floating license server or suggest other workarounds.

Install the following required packages for Flow:

$ sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install  python perl make gcc g++ zlib1g libbz2-1.0 libstdc++6 libgcc1 libncurses5 libsqlite3-0 libfreetype6 libpng12-0 zip unzip libgomp1 libxrender1 libxtst6 libxi6 debconf
