# Run a shell script to install libraries on Amazon EMR instances using an AWS SDK
<a name="emr_example_emr_Usage_InstallLibrariesWithSsm_section"></a>

The following code example shows how to use AWS Systems Manager to run a shell script on Amazon EMR instances that installs additional libraries. This way, you can automate instance management instead of running commands manually through an SSH connection.
