Now that you have all 3 servers onboarded, it's time to install software necessary to run our distributed application.

Go to Software tab and click Install/Update Mode toggle on each server.

After a couple of seconds versions of the software installed on your server should be synced with ClusterWare.

Follow the table below to install required software (rows) on the specified servers (columns).

How to install specific software from the list

Git

On the server that we're using for demo purposes Git is already installed with version 2.24.1, however if your server doesn't come with Git pre-installed click Install Git on servers APP1 and APP2.

Node Version Manager (NVM)

Click Install Node Version Manager on servers APP1 and APP2.

NodeJS (v18)

Open the dropdown listing all available NodeJS versions, select v.18.x (Latest LTS: Hydrogen) on servers APP1 and APP2..

Once NodeJS installation is complete, you'll see the current version of NodeJS and NPM in the respective sections.

Process Manager (PM2)

Click Install PM2 on servers APP1 and APP2.

Nginx

Click Install Nginx on ALB server. Provide root password and click OK

To change NodeJS version, you need to have NVM installed first.
