# Make Docker auto start
sudo chkconfig docker on

# Install git because... everything needs git!
sudo yum install -y git

# Install tools for compilation
sudo yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools"

# Reboot to confirm all is good
sudo reboot

Give the instance some time to reboot then log back in.

# Install docker-compose
sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.22.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

# Allow docker-compose to execute

yarn global add @auroradao/aurad-cli

# Reboot for good measure
sudo reboot

Now once we log back in we should be able to run the aura commands in the shell!

SSH Into Instance

aura start --rpc https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/<your_infura_id>

Or just run it using the built-in method:

aura start
