Indigo on AWS AMI image

Tutor

I’m running an AMI image on an t3a.medium instance. When I try to install indigo, following The YouTube tutorial “How to run Open edX Ironwood on AWS”, I get the error:

**MemoryError**
**You are using pip version 9.0.3, however version 20.0.2 is available.**
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Thank you in advance

Hi @bhernandez! What kind of EC2 instance are you running? With how much disk space?

I’m using a t3a.medium instance. By default it has a 16Gb Volume. I have upgrade the Volume to 32Gb because I got a previous “no space left on device” error when I tried to execute “images build openedx”

4

Can I suggest upgrading to a t3a.large instance for building the custom image? As I mentioned in the YouTube tutorial, 4Gb is a minimum for running Open edX but the recommended amount is 8 Gb.

Thank You very much, Regis. It works fine in a t3a.large instance. Indigo theme also installed and working.
