   • Select the Amazon Machine Image (AMI): Choose "Amazon Linux 2" or "Ubuntu 22.04 LTS". (free tier)
   • Choose an Instance Type: Select the t2.micro instance type (which is free tier eligible).
   • Create new key pair (SSH key connection). V.V.Imp: Keep it safe
   • Review and Launch: Launch the instance and create a new key pair (or use an existing one).

Step 3: Connect to Your EC2 Instance

1. Connect to your instance: Use an SSH client to connect to your instance.

ssh -i /path/to/your-key-pair.pem ec2-user@your-ec2-public-dns

Step 4: Install Node.js and Git

1. Update and install Node.js:

# installs nvm (Node Version Manager)
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash

# download and install Node.js (you may need to restart the terminal)
nvm install 20

# verifies the right Node.js version is in the environment
node -v # should print `v20.16.0`

# verifies the right npm version is in the environment
npm -v # should print `10.8.1`

2. Install Git: Most probably preinstalled

Step 5: Clone Your Repository and Install Dependencies
