Installing the Anjuna Nitro Runtime

Once you have installed the package dependencies required by Nitro, you can install the Anjuna Nitro Runtime on this Nitro EC2 instance.

If you already installed a different version of the Anjuna Nitro Runtime, you should skip to the next section, Upgrading the Anjuna Nitro Runtime.

Get the installer

Access the Anjuna Resource Center to get the Anjuna Nitro Runtime  —  anjuna-nitro-runtime.1.42.0001.tar.gz

You can use the “API” button to copy a wget command to download Anjuna Nitro Runtime to your AWS instance from the command line, without the need to access the Anjuna Resource Center UI again.

Install the Anjuna Nitro Runtime

For your first installation, extract the tools into /opt/anjuna/nitro and allow anjuna-nitro-netd-parent to bind on privileged ports:

You must extract the tools into /opt/anjuna/nitro. Using any other directory may cause issues with the runtime. 
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/anjuna/nitro
$ sudo tar -xvoz -C /opt/anjuna/nitro -f anjuna-nitro-runtime.1.42.0001.tar.gz
$ sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /opt/anjuna/nitro/bin/anjuna-nitro-netd-parent

Set up the environment variables

$ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/anjuna/nitro/bin

To make sure that this environment variable is always defined properly, add the line above to your ~/.bash_profile, which ensures that it is defined automatically every time you log in.

Create a folder for logs

$ sudo mkdir -p /var/log/nitro_enclaves

The Anjuna Nitro tools will store their logs in this directory.

The /var/log/nitro_enclaves directory must exist for the logs.
