Installing Cloud9 on Amazon EC2 (revisted, Cloud9 v0.7)

doit.sh

sudo apt-get update
# get ec2 ip and hostname

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential g++ libssl-dev apache2-utils git libxml2-dev screen

#install node
git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git
# git checkout v0.10.13 did work once, but I couldn't work again, so I fell back to 0.8

#compilation takes over 30 minutes on a t1.micro
cd node; git checkout v0.8.22; ./configure; make; sudo make install; cd ..

sudo npm install -g sm
sudo /usr/local/lib/node_modules/sm/bin/sm install-command

# version 0.7
git clone https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9.git
cd cloud9; sudo npm install

screen -S cloud9server -L -dm bash -c "cd cloud9; sudo ./bin/cloud9.sh -l 0.0.0.0 -p 8000"
# now browse to http://[EC2_EXERNAL_IP]:8000

Hi, thanks for the install steps! very useful! I'm running an ubuntu instance, and in my case before start the server I needed to run the following commands:

• npm install formidable@latest
• npm install gnu-tools@latest

If not, the cloud9 server won't start because of the missing modules.
After few hours, the cloud9 server went down, but the process was still running.

That's great. Thanks

Hi, thanks for this post, I followed a couple others that didnt work so gave this a shot.

This did not work as they moved the c9 repo

• version 0.7
  git clone https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9.git
  cd cloud9; sudo npm install

so I followed the instructions in the moved page.
Everything seemed to run without a hitch

Then I ran this
screen -S cloud9server -L -dm bash -c "cd c9sdk; sudo ./bin/c9 -l 0.0.0.0 -p 8000"

and http://my-ec2-ip:8000/ just times out

This is what I see -

I also tried borisbecker's suggestions still no avail.

Would appreciate any response to my predicament...thanks in advance !
