How to install supervisor on Amazon Linux

readme.sh

# Install it as a yum package instead of throgh pip (will save you from lots of hassle)

# first get epel
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel

# then install supervisor
sudo yum install supervisor

Or if you want to install Epel:
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -ihv --nodeps ./epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm

but Amazon Docs recommend using pip, though there's no Doc for certbot.

I'm running lamp on linux 2023, the instructions here are more complete, they focus on beanstalk but aside from file path it worked like a charm:

https://5paceman.dev/aws-elastic-beanstalk-supervisor/

on this commands:

sudo cp .platform/files/supervisor.conf /etc/supervisord.conf
sudo cp .platform/files/supervisord.service /lib/systemd/system/supervisord.service

i just made the files on the folder /home/ec2-user/files, instead of .platform.
