2.  Start a virtual machine on Amazon’s EC2 compute service

  • Login and go to the US-Ohio region.
  • Click on ‘Launch Instance’.
  • Select ‘Community AMIs’.
  • Enter ‘verachem’ in the search box, Amazon should return a link to ami-0296e7aeb99e56202.

3.  Configure the VM for your requirements

  •  Click on ‘Select’, then choose your instance type, the free t2-micro type is enough to explore the installation, but not to run calculations. Try a C5 type instance for production runs.
