Install the CodeDeploy agent for Ubuntu Server

To install the CodeDeploy agent on Ubuntu Server

  1. Sign in to the instance.

  2. Enter the following commands, one after the other:

    sudo apt update

    For version 2.0.x and later:

    sudo apt install wget

    For version 1.8.x and earlier:

    sudo apt install ruby-full wget

  3. Enter the following command:

    cd /home/ubuntu

    /home/ubuntu represents the default user name for an Ubuntu Server instance. If your instance was created using a custom AMI, the AMI owner might have specified a different default user name.

    For a list of bucket names and region identifiers, see Resource kit bucket names by Region.

  5. Enter the following command:

    chmod +x ./install

  6. Do one of the following:

    • To install the latest version of the CodeDeploy agent:

      • List the available versions in your Region:

      • Install one of the versions:

        For version 2.0.x and later, packages are architecture-specific:

        sudo ./install auto -v releases/codedeploy-agent_version_arch.deb

        Where arch is amd64 or arm64 depending on your instance architecture.

        For version 1.8.x and earlier, packages use a different naming convention:

        sudo ./install auto -v releases/codedeploy-agent_version_all.deb
