# Create an AMI for ASE

## About this task

Complete the following steps to create an AMI for ASE.

## Steps

1. Create an RHEL 7.6 or Ubuntu 16.04 LTS EC2 instance

2. Install the AWS CLI by completing the following steps:

   1. Install Python 2.7

   2. Enter the following command:

      ```
      sudo curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"
      ```

   3. Unzip the CLI bundle

      ```
      sudo unzip awscli-bundle.zip
      ```

   4. Install the CLI:

      ```
      sudo ./awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/bin/aws
      ```

3. Download the ASE AWS binary. After downloading the file, copy the ASE file to the `/opt` directory.

4. Untar the binary in the EC2 instance. At the command prompt, type the following command to untar the ASE file:

   ```
   tar –zxvf <filename>
   ```

   **For example:**

   `tar –zxvf ase-rhel-4.0.tar.gz`

5. To verify that ASE successfully installed, enter the ls command at the command prompt. This should list the `pingidentity` directory and the build's `tar` file. **For example:**

   ```
   /opt/$ ls
   pingidentity ase-rhel-4.0.tar.gz
   ```

6. Change directory to `/opt/pingidentity/ase/bin`

7. Run the `install_service.sh aws` script:

   ```
   /opt/pingidentity/ase/bin$sudo ./install_service.sh aws
   Installing ASE service for AWS Autoscale
   This script will install ASE as a service

   Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ase.service to /etc/systemd/system/ase.service.
   ASE service successfully installed
   ```

8. Create an AMI using this EC2 instance.
