Hello,

I am following the guide at https://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/InstallationGuidelines/Amazon and I am getting stuck on some issues with installation.

I have Debian 12 running on a T2.micro instance.

I tried using the User Data function to add the contents of the user-data.sh file for the install which did not work and now I am trying to run the script manually.

I have already configured SES for email for the domain we are using which is ResponseLink.org.

First Issue:

I got stuck on step 13.5 because Exim4 was not installed so I went back to try to run the user-data.sh script manually.

Second Issue:

Trying to run -

"exec > >(tee /var/log/user-data.log|logger -t user-data -s 2>/dev/console) 2>&1"

I get the following output:

"-bash: /dev/console: Permission denied

tee: /var/log/user-data.log: Permission denied

Connection to (ip redacted) closed."

Third Issue:

Trying to run -

"apt-get update"

I get the following output:

"Reading package lists... Done

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)

E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied)

W: Problem unlinking the file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - RemoveCaches (13: Permission denied)"

I stopped with trying to continue with any of the setup there. Not sure what I'm missing or doing wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

-Chris

I was able to get a little further and overcome some permissions issues with sudo -i to run as root, but here is what I'm running into now which is issues with Python and Ansible packages. I have tried to install Python3-pip and the Dev package and this is where I'm stuck:
