I am running into an issue installing pm2 globally on aws elastic beanstalk. I created the following script for installing pm2:
option_settings:
- option_name: NODE_ENV
value: production
container_commands:
01_enable_rootaccess:
command: echo Defaults:root \!requiretty >> /etc/sudoers
02_install_imagemagic:
command: yum install -y ImageMagick
03_download_new_relic:
command: rpm -Uvh http://download.newrelic.com/pub/newrelic/el5/i386/newrelic-repo-5-3.noarch.rpm
ignoreErrors: true
04_install_new_relic:
command: yum install -y newrelic-sysmond
ignoreErrors: true
05_add_license_key:
command: /usr/sbin/nrsysmond-config --set license_key=xxxxxxx
ignoreErrors: true
06_start_new_relic:
command: /etc/init.d/newrelic-sysmond start
ignoreErrors: true
07_install_pm2:
command: sudo /opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-v0.10.26-linux-x64/bin/npm install pm2 -g
ignoreErrors: true
08_stop_old_pm2_processes:
command: sudo /opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-v0.10.26-linux-x64/bin/pm2 delete all
ignoreErrors: true
09_start_pm2:
command: sudo /opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-v0.10.26-linux-x64/bin/pm2 startup -u ec2-user
ignoreErrors: true
I have tried using just 'pm2 delete all' and 'pm2 startup' for commands 8 & 9 put i just get command not found. when i give the specific path to pm2(i logged on to the ec2 and verified) i get "line 4: exec: : not found". any idea what i am doing wrong here? Thanks in advance for your help!

When a package. json file is present, Elastic Beanstalk runs npm install to install dependencies. It also uses the start command to start your application. For more information about the package.
Install Package Globally NPM can also install packages globally so that all the node. js application on that computer can import and use the installed packages. NPM installs global packages into /<User>/local/lib/node_modules folder. Apply -g in the install command to install package globally.
It's best to install locally when relying on a package from your module, such as Node. js. This is how npm install works by default. The grunt CLI package, for example, must be installed globally before it can be used as a command-line tool.
I managed to install pm2 globally on elastic beanstalk with the following code snippet embedded in an .ebextensions/your_file_name.config file
container_commands:
01_node_symlink:
command: "ln -sf `ls -td /opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-* | head -1`/bin/node /bin/node"
02_npm_symlink:
command: "ln -sf `ls -td /opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-* | head -1`/bin/npm /bin/npm"
03_pm2_install:
command: "if [ ! -e /bin/pm2 ]; then npm install pm2 -g; fi"
ignoreErrors: true
