Overview

This guide provides a step-by-step guide to launching and operating an EC2 instance on AWS for testing TRH SDK. The main purpose of this guide is that we are currently facing a few edge cases with the deployment of testnet/mainnet on specific machines. (e.g. Mac Intel Chip)

So we just wanted to provide a guide to help you deploy your own EC2 instance and test the SDK there.

Prerequisites

• AWS IAM user to login AWS console You can create a new IAM user on your own or ask the TRH team to create one for you. Then you should be able to login AWS console with the credentials.

Step 1: Go to the AWS sign in page and sign in with the IAM user credentials.

Step 2: Go to the EC2 Dashboard

Go to the EC2 dash board and click Launch instance button.

Step 3: Fill out the necessary information for your instance.

• Name

  You can fill the name of your instance as you want. (e.g, victor-sdk-test)

• Application and OS Images

  Here you can pick the OS you want to use for your instance.

  We recommend you to use Ubuntu 20.04 or above.

  

• Instance type

  Here you can pick the instance type you want to use. We recommend you to use t2.xlarge or above.

  

• Key pair (login)

  Here you can pick the key pair you want to use for your instance. If you don't have any key pair, you can create a new one.

  

  

  ⚠️ After you create the key pair, you will get a key pair file downloaded to your local machine. You can use this file to login to your instance. (Keep it safe and don't share it with anyone.)
