b. Install AWS ParallelCluster

Load Cloud9 IDE

If the Cloud9 IDE isn’t currently loaded:

  1. In the AWS Management Console search bar, type and select Cloud9.
  2. Choose open IDE for the Cloud9 instance set up previously. It may take a few moments for the IDE to open. AWS Cloud9 stops and restarts the instance so that you do not pay compute charges when no longer using the Cloud9 IDE.

Installing AWS ParallelCluster

Use the pip install command to install AWS ParallelCluster. Python and Python package management tool (PIP) are already installed in the Cloud9 environment.

Install AWS ParallelCluster version 3.5.1:

pip3 install aws-parallelcluster==3.5.1 -U --user

This will take a couple of minutes. You can check the ParallelCluster installation has completed successfully by running:

pcluster version

The output should be:

{
  "version": "3.5.1"
}

Next, you will configure AWS ParallelCluster.
