Step 4 – (Optional) Install additional drivers, libraries, and application software
Install additional drivers, libraries, and application software on the temporary instance. The installation procedures will vary depending on the specific applications and libraries. If you have not built a custom AMI for AWS PCS before, we recommend you first build and test an AMI with just the AWS PCS software and Slurm installed, then incrementally add your own software and configurations once you have confirmed initial success.
